maincubes, which develops and operates data centers in Europe, announced that its newly constructed FRA02 data center in Frankfurt, Germany aligns with the EU Taxonomy standard. This milestone underscores maincubes’ commitment to stringent environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance and long-term value for investors and clients.
EU Taxonomy is a classification framework to determine whether an economic activity is considered environmentally sustainable in the context of the European Green Deal. The framework sets performance standards for projects to ensure substantial contribution to climate goals such as emissions reduction and energy efficiency. The alignment also approves that a project does no significant harm to other environmental objectives and does not infringe on human rights.
Verified by Northshore, a specialist in data center sustainability assessments, FRA02 meets the criteria for energy efficiency and emissions management, bolstering its credibility and minimizing risk through validated compliance with the sustainability criteria.
By adhering, maincubes establishes with FRA02 a benchmark for sustainability and operational excellence in the data center industry. The data center’s design and energy-efficient operations serve as a model for the industry under increasing pressure to lower emissions and improve sustainability.
“Achieving EU Taxonomy alignment for FRA02 underlines our commitment to sustainability and regulatory excellence,” said maincubes COO, Martin Murphy. “This important milestone contributes to shaping a more sustainable future for the data center industry, while enhancing trust and transparency for our customers and stakeholders.”
