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.
We believe meaningful engagement starts early and continues as our projects develop and operate. We work directly with local communities to share information, listen to feedback and better understand local priorities.
We support community organisations and initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the places where we operate. This includes partnerships, sponsorships, donations and opportunities for our people to volunteer and contribute to causes that matter to them.
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.
