CSR Approach
XP Metal Detectors : a company committed to the planet
At XP Metal Detectors, environmental responsibility is an integral part of our mission. From the very beginning, we’ve harnessed innovation to build a more sustainable future, through a comprehensive CSR strategy based on concrete actions, committed partnerships, and eco-friendly production.
1% for the Planet : A Transparent and Sustainable Philanthropic Model
Since 2023, XP Metal Detectors has been a member of the global 1% for the Planet collective. This movement brings together companies committed to donating 1% of their annual revenue to nonprofit organizations working to protect the environment.
Unlike one-off donations, this contribution is structured, verified, and sustainable. It helps support thousands of projects around the world, focusing on biodiversity, climate, oceans, soil, and environmental education.
Pure Ocean : Protecting Marine Ecosystems Through Science
We support the Pure Ocean Foundation, which funds scientific and technological research projects dedicated to the preservation of the oceans and marine biodiversity.
The goal of this initiative is to identify, support, and promote innovative solutions that combat plastic pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.
Entrepreneurs du Monde : Supporting People and the Planet
Our social commitment also includes our partnership with the French NGO Entrepreneurs du Monde, which helps vulnerable populations create sustainable economic activities.
The organization operates in over 15 countries, supporting projects in social microfinance, women’s entrepreneurship, clean energy, and access to education and training.
This partnership reflects our belief that the ecological transition must also be inclusive and rooted in solidarity.
Longtime® : Durable, Repairable, and Certified Products
At XP, we stand firmly against planned obsolescence. Our detectors are built to last, easy to repair, and supported with spare parts for at least 10 years.
That’s why we’ve earned the Longtime®, certification — the leading label for durable and repairable products. This independent certification is based on a rigorous set of 38 criteria, ensuring:
- Product durability
- Ease of repair
- Transparency for consumers
XP is one of the few French industrial companies to commit so strongly to product longevity.
Eco-Responsible and Circular Production
Our CSR approach goes beyond partnerships — it’s embedded in every aspect of our production:
- In-house plastic recycling to manufacture new parts
- Reduced air transport in favor of sea freight
- High Energy Performance industrial building, equipped with thermal solar panels via our subsidiary Heliofrance
- 100% renewable electricity through our membership in the Enercoop cooperative
- Green mobility for our employees (transport incentives, charging stations, cycling, carpooling)
Made in France and Local Economy
XP Metal Detectors actively supports a local, innovative, and responsible economy by investing in French companies specialized in:
- Thermal solar energy
- Sustainable household appliances
- Industrial automation
- Injection molding of recyclable plastic parts
This model helps us reduce our carbon footprint, promote Made in France manufacturing, and support local employment.
