BIOMASS BOILERS
We've introduced biomass boilers at two of our production sites. The biomass boilers utilise wood offcuts to provide a source of renewable heat, resulting in potential savings of 1,200 tonnes of carbon each year. We're always looking at how we can minimise the impact of our production processes and create more renewable sources of energy.
HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (HVO) FUEL
In collaboration with our engine suppliers, we have approved the use of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in all our engines. HVO, is a sustainable fuel source with a significantly lower carbon footprint than diesel, reducing CO2 emissions by a minimum of 85%. All our engine manufacturers have approved the use of HVO without having any impact on warranty, performance or fuel consumption. This sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels exemplifies our dedication to exploring and embracing eco-friendly solutions without compramising on performance or luxury.
RECYCLED PET CORE
In 2024, Sunseeker introduced a PET foam core made with up to 45% recycled plastic. The introduction of this material reduced our environmental impact while maintaining structural strength. We're always researching new, more sustainable materials to find solutions that don't compramise the quality or performance of our yachts.
THE SUNSEEKER BOATBUILDER PROGRAMME
The Sunseeker Skills Academy, developed in partnership with Bournemouth and Poole College, is a 12-week intensive boat-building course. Successful applicants will learn trade skills across five boat building specialisms, including carpentry, plumbing, composite bonding, engineering and electrical installations. Following an intensive training programme, students achieve a nationally recognised qualification over twelve months. Offering employment opportunities in the local area and upskilling our workers is vital to achieve the level of craftsmanship we're so proud of and to make sure we're putting back into the community as much as it gives us.
Our pursuit of sustainability extends beyond compliance, embodying a holistic approach that combines innovation, efficiency, people, partnerships and environmental stewardship. For more information, please contact Sean Dempsey, our Environmental and Sustainability Manager.
