Renewable energy

For a sustainable transition to an electrified society

As future societies and industries become increasingly electrified, the demand for renewable and fossil-free energy will continue to rise. Recognizing this, Hexicon has made it a central part of its strategy to drive and support the development towards a sustainable energy supply for industries and societies. By harnessing the enormous potential of wind power at sea, Hexicon aims to create favorable conditions for countries, communities, and industries to make sustainable, resource-efficient, and long-term choices that will power a greener future.

THE BLUE ECONOMY

The blue economy promotes the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth. Renewable energy is one of many activities that are crucial for the blue economy to thrive. Our business model is based on a deep respect for the sea’s nature and historical, economical, and cultural uses. With a focus on sustainable energy production, Hexicon aims to promote environmentally friendly and cost-effective production of green energy at sea, which is needed to transform and electrify societies in a sustainable way.

 

COLLABORATION & COEXISTENCE

The ocean is home to a diverse range of life and holds immense intrinsic value. As responsible stewards of this resource, we at Hexicon understand the importance of respecting the ocean and all of its incumbent users, including its inherent nature and wildlife. We recognize the value of collaboration and coexistence, and work closely with local and national stakeholders such as fisheries, environmental groups, and the military to maintain and improve the health of our oceans.

 

CARBON-FREE ENERGY SYSTEM

Partnership development and equal collaboration are foundational to realizing a prosperous blue economy. Through united efforts, we can harness collective expertise and unlock innovative approaches. That is why Hexicon aims to be a trusted partner to ensure sustainability in all aspects of our business. The energy industry has great experience in managing long-lived, large capital projects and is well positioned to participate in the sustainable offshore wind business, and that is also why we partner with traditional oil- and gas companies. Together, we can accomplish a transition from fossil energy to renewables.

FLOATING WIND POWER AND THE MARINE ECOSYSTEM

.
Research have shown that the floating foundations can have some positive effects on the marine ecosystem. For example, several studies show that floating wind power farms can act as artificial reefs which create protected areas under the surface, beneficial for several fish species. The sea around the wind farms can also be shielded from trawling, creating nursery areas that contribute to more sustainable fishing.

Another advantage for the marine ecosystem is that the building structure for floating wind power can be easily removed, and the marine environment restored during decommissioning and dismantling.

HUMAN RIGHTS & DIVERSITY

To ensure fair acting within the industry, we have set high requirements for all our suppliers and partners. We fully comply with applicable competition laws and related regulations in the countries in which we operate, and we do not tolerate any activity that violates these laws and regulations. There is no tolerance to any corrupt behavior, whether local law allows such acts or not.

We believe in diversity in all aspects. It helps us to challenge norms and achieve success together. As the case in the whole industry, Hexicon’s stands in front of a shift considering the traditional unequal distribution between male and female employees and managers. However, Hexicon is actively seeking to reach a higher degree of diversity, and doing so through recruitment, developing employee competencies and promotions.
