Cologne, 2 October 2025 – q.beyond AG has been singled out for Germany’s highest accolade for sustainable business activity – the 2026 German Sustainability Award for companies. This places the IT service provider among 100 pioneers of the sustainable transformation towards an economy fit for the future.

“q.beyond offers a shining example as to how digitalisation and sustainability can be conceptually harmonised and practically implemented”, comments the jury in its reasoning. The jury was particularly convinced by “the systematic and long-term way the company has integrated sustainability into its corporate strategy, operating processes, and corporate culture.”

Comments Nora Wolters, CFO of q.beyond AG: “We provide our customers with sovereign IT services that are stable, secure, and compliant with data protection requirements. And we have successfully been doing this under the premise of sustainability for many years. We are therefore delighted that our commitment has now been recognised with the German Sustainability Award.”

From energy-efficient data centres to upskilling

The award acknowledges the efforts made by a company to promote sustainability by reference to ecological, economic, and social perspectives. In operating its certified high-security data centres, for example, q.beyond has helped protect the climate for several years already by working with green electricity and offsetting unavoidable residual emissions. Further measures include expanding the use of photovoltaics and deploying state-of-the-art air conditioning and coolants at the data centres.
