Our environmental impact
Find out how we’re working with communities, customers, and suppliers to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future
We’re building more than subsea cables. XLCC delivers the technology and infrastructure to connect renewable energy to where it’s needed, helping create a cleaner, more resilient future for the UK.
Anchored in community, powered by purpose
Our project brings prosperity, skills, and opportunity to Scotland, alongside environmental benefits. By creating high-value manufacturing jobs, we’re proving that clean energy can create lasting social and economic impact.
Built for efficiency and transparency
From day one, we’ve embedded sustainability into how we work — following circular economy principles, maximising operational efficiency, and making clear, data-driven decisions.
As a proud signatory of the UK Steel Charter, we champion responsible sourcing and a low-carbon UK steel industry.
Protecting local environments
We recognise the environmental sensitivities of our work. During construction and operations, we act to ensure our developments coexist with and protect local ecosystems.
