Community engagement

Our data centres are built for the long term, and so are our relationships with communities. We listen, engage and invest locally to create opportunities and support the people and places around us.

Building strong local connections

As CDC grows, so does our responsibility to the communities where we operate. We want our presence to create lasting benefits, from local jobs and skills development to supporting community organisations and building strong relationships with the people who live and work around our data centres.

We engage with communities throughout the life of our projects, creating opportunities for people to learn more about our developments, ask questions and share what matters to them. We also work with local businesses, community groups and other organisations to identify opportunities where our investment can make a meaningful difference.

Our community approach forms part of the Thriving People pillar of our sustainability strategy, which focuses on developing individual and community prosperity. 

Creating local opportunities

Our investment in digital infrastructure creates opportunities beyond our data centre campuses. We aim to support local jobs and skills, work with local businesses and suppliers, and help build pathways into careers in critical infrastructure.

We support organisations that matter to our communities, staff and customers. Here are some examples of our current sponsorships and community partnerships, including Hands across Canberra who support in excess of 250+ charities within the Canberra region.
