Why is the company part of the portfolio?
Conservation: Reducing ressources & waste
Decentralized hosting is key to drive the digitalization for smaller companies. In addition, it saves resources as every single company does not need to own and operate the necessary hardware separately.
Climate protection: Reducing emissions
Decentralized hosting services account for a fair share of the global energy consumption. As a hosting provider Equinix is no exception. Because of this Equinix can make a big impact. Currently, the company gets 90 % of its energy from renewable sources therewith reducing its carbon footprint by 60 % compared to 2015.
