Equinix

Equinix, a computer and related services company headquartered in the US, has set ambitious climate commitments. For the year 2025, the company reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1,624,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, Scope 3 emissions were around 1,442,000,000 kg CO2e, and in 2023, they stood at approximately 1,234,000,000 kg CO2e.

Equinix is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040. To support this goal, the company has established near-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, Equinix aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities by 50% by 2030, also based on a 2019 baseline. The company also plans to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030, from 87% in 2019. A key part of their strategy involves engaging suppliers, with a commitment that 66% of their suppliers by emissions will have science-based targets by 2025.

Equinix's long-term objectives include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 baseline, and similarly, a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. These targets align with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
