LeaseWeb is the sponsor of Texel Airshow
Did you know the Netherlands has 14 small islands in the north, collectively known as the West Frisian Islands? Only 5 of those are actually inhabited, the most populous of which is the island of Texel (pronounced: Tessel). Why would we tell you this? Well, after a long absence, one of the most spectacular shows in the Netherlands takes place again at Texel Airport this year: The LeaseWeb Texel Airshow!
LeaseWeb computer donation to the Sukaria charity project
You may recall that back in September we told you about LeaseWeb’s work to support the Sukaria project – the charity founded by one of our Customer Support Engineers, Janice Ritzer, to raise funds for children from the Indonesian Mollucan Islands. With the holiday seasons still going on it’s an especially nice time of year for us to be thinking of others who are not as lucky as ourselves.

LeaseWeb helps the monkeys as part of our corporate social responsibility program!
Our Corporate Social Responsibility program is really important to everyone at LeaseWeb, and is something which is reflected on a number of levels throughout our work. We constantly address our practices to ensure that they are kept sustainable, and for this reason we utilize green datacenters. Besides this, LeaseWeb is connecting more clients to their cloud products daily, which results in improved resource utilization, which in turn is good for our sustainability. Another aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility which we’re keen to promote is the charity work that we have recently begun to do with an animal sanctuary: Stichting AAP (the AAP Foundation).
