Cubico Sustainable Investments’ Post

Owls Hatch, our 50MW solar farm in Kent, is Cubico's largest in the UK! This 200 acre site generates enough electricity to power around 13,000 homes -and prevents over 11 thousand tonnes of CO2 emissions- every year. The facility is a prime example of how solar power can benefit both the environment and the economy, providing clean, reliable energy while supporting local communities and biodiversity. 🌍🔋 #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SolarPower

As the summer holidays arrive for many, it's the perfect time to reflect on what has been an incredibly busy and exciting year so far in 2024 for Cubico. Swipe through some of our key highlights and achievements this year!

Last week, the 2024 Toowoomba and Surat Basin Energy Summit took place in Dalby, Australia, with over 300 leaders from government and industry in attendance. David Smith, our Australia Country Head, joined a panel discussion facilitated by John Sheldon - Interim National Wind Farm Commissioner for the Australian Government, highlighting how clean energy projects like our 500MW Wambo Wind Farm can create significant benefits for the region, through boosting regional economies and creating local content and jobs. Cubico has been developing renewable energy projects in Australia since 2018 with a strong focus on the Eastern coast. With our Australian team growing rapidly, we hope to bring many more MW into operation. This ambition is supported by the valuable connections that TSBE links across industry business and opportunity. #EnergySummit #CleanEnergy #Collaboration

The construction of the first stage of our Wambo Wind Farm, in partnership with Stanwell Corporation Limited, is well underway! The foundations are now complete, each standing nearly 4 meters tall and spanning 26 meters in width. These robust structures will support 42 Vestas turbines, each with a capacity of 6MW and towering over 166 meters high, making them some of the largest onshore turbines in the world! The Wambo Wind Farm will play a significant role in decarbonising Queensland’s energy system and powering its sustainable future. #energisingqueensland #renewables #wambo

Today, we are celebrating #CycleToWorkDay, encouraging our staff to choose more sustainable transportation options, whether it’s cycling, walking, or using public transport. Cycling to work is a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint, support a healthy lifestyle, boost productivity, and save money. For those who don’t cycle, every small effort to choose greener commuting options makes a difference and contributes to a cleaner environment. Together, we can all make positive impacts on our wellbeing and our planet! #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GreenCommute

At the heart of our mission as a business, is a commitment to giving back and creating meaningful change in the communities where we operate. Last year, through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, we invested over USD $2.5 million in community projects and charities globally. In Uruguay, we have been improving the quality of living and creating opportunities for the local community near our Kiyu wind farm in San José through a series of initiatives including: 🏀 Enhancing Public Spaces: Donating equipment and materials for the construction of sports courts and park benches, supporting active and healthy lifestyles. 👩🔧 Empowering Women: Supporting a craft centre in Kiyu that provides employment opportunities for female artisanal workers. 🎓 Improving Education Facilities: Contributing funds to the construction of a modern canteen at a school on the outskirts of Montevideo, benefiting hundreds of students. Our recently published ESG report highlights our dedication to community engagement, and our approach to partnerships and social development projects.

Yesterday morning, our London office participated in a Great Big Breakfast fundraising event for Magic Breakfast, a charity dedicated to providing nutritious breakfasts to school children across the UK. Magic Breakfast's mission is to ensure that "no child is too hungry to learn." The charity supports around 1,000 schools, including 82 schools located near our renewable energy projects. Food poverty is a growing issue, with over 5 million British children living in food-insecure households. Thanks to the generosity of our colleagues, Cubico has raised nearly £7,000 for Magic Breakfast, enough to provide over 30,000 breakfasts to children in need across the country. Our commitment extends beyond the UK. Earlier this month, our Sydney office held a Big Brunch Down Under, raising funds for Foodbank Australia, the country's largest supporter of school breakfast programs. Other offices are also planning similar events to support local charities in their respective countries. At Cubico, we are dedicated to fighting child hunger and food insecurity globally, and we are proud to support charities working towards this important goal. #MagicBreakfast #Fundraising #CorporateResponsibility #FoodInsecurity
