Governance
We uphold ethical business through robust structures that meet the expectations of our customers, investors, regulators, employees and the communities that host us.
Our ESG Dashboard for Your Insight
This ESG Dashboard provides you with an overview of selected key activities structured along Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) topics. The listed activities demonstrate maincubes’ ongoing commitment to sustainability. They are examples and not an exhaustive list.
We are currently preparing our first VSME report, which is expected in 2026.
Until then, we transparently show how our existing ESG activities map against the VSME logic. This structure is compatible with broader European sustainability reporting standards, and reflects our commitment to building trust through transparent, evolving, and future-proof ESG reporting.
For further insights, use the SDGs filter for a global, community-oriented perspective.

12 – Sustainable Consumption and Production
We minimize waste and resource consumption: systematic waste reduction, efficient resource reuse, and sustainable sourcing practices across our entire value chain. Lifecycle assessments and recycling strategies ensure responsible resource use and promote circular economy principles at every step.
17 – Partnerships for the Goals
We link our business growth to measurable ESG goals through innovative sustainability-linked financing models and third-party certifications like EMAS. Through partnerships with municipalities, suppliers, auditors, and other stakeholders, we transparently demonstrate accountability and drive collective impact.
Note on SDG Mapping
Although our activities contribute to a wide range of Sustainable Development Goals, we have deliberately chosen to focus on the SDGs that our current ESG efforts support most directly and measurably. This approach provides clarity and relevance for our stakeholders while maintaining the broader systemic impact of our work.
