In our unwavering commitment to environmental management, we have proudly held certification to the ISO 14001 management system for over 10 years. This certification reflects our adherence to international standards, providing assurance that our operations are conducted with the utmost consideration for ecological preservation. Within our production processes, we strive for energy efficiency through various measures, such as adopting LED lighting, variable speed air compressors, and energy-efficient extraction systems. These upgrades not only reduce our energy consumption but also set a benchmark for sustainable manufacturing practices in the marine industry.

Over the course of a decade, we have implemented a number of value-driven environmental initiatives, including the implementation of biomass boilers for renewable heat generation in our manufacturing processes at two of our production sites in Poole and Portland. The biomass boilers utilise wood offcuts from our manufacturing processes to provide a source of renewable heat, resulting in potential savings of 1,200 tonnes of carbon each year, thereby minimising the environmental impacts of our yacht production. We continue to invest in research to further value-driven manufacturing in the marine industry. Through academic and industrial collaboration, we can further our goals of reducing material waste and improving efficiencies. Our in-house design department recently introduced Virtual Reality which has reduced the need to produce timber mock-ups during the initial concept design phase.

Our pursuit of sustainability extends beyond compliance, embodying a holistic approach that combines innovation, efficiency, people, partnerships and environmental stewardship.
