Social
We promote a culture of equity, diversity and shared value within our team and the ecosystem we operate in.
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.

We strengthen local communities by repurposing our data centers’ waste heat for municipal use and actively engaging in local sustainability projects. Our integrated site designs help transform technological infrastructure into valuable community assets and thriving ecological spaces.
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.
