business and ESG
Welcome!
You have reached the ESG website of XD Connects. Here we share our ambitions for positive change and explain our activities related to Environment, Social, and Governance. In 2022 we updated the roadmap driving our ESG ambitions (see more details below).
As our customers are key stakeholders in this journey, we have included a Learning Portal explaining key initiatives related to the positive change in our operations. Feel free to use the Contact Us section to reach out with any feedback or questions.
Keep an eye on this website for our regular updates!

Offsetting 2022 CO2 impact
June 2023
We want to run our operations at the lowest cost to the environment, constantly working to reduce our CO2 footprint. For the CO2 emissions which we have not (yet) decreased, we apply carbon offsetting.
In 2022 we offset a total of 3,768.38 tonnes of CO2, 11% of our total footprint. In doing this, we supported two inspiring projects:
- Reforestation and agroforestry in the Bolivian Andes
- Clean electricity generation in the Karnataka state, India
To reach our goal of offsetting 100% of our CO2 emissions in 2030 (Scope 1, 2, and 3), we will increase the % offset by 11% each year.
Read more about carbon offsetting and the XD Connects projects in our blog!
