The digital infrastructure company Equinix is addressing the increasing demand for high performance and sustainability in the data centre industry. With a focus on sustainability-guided innovation, the company released its 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report, outlining key initiatives. One notable initiative involves trialling the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) for backup power to achieve a substantial 90% reduction in carbon emissions from backup generators. Equinix also emphasizes the use of liquid cooling to support high-density workloads like AI efficiently, saving energy and water. The company collaborates with various partners to develop sustainable technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cells and software-defined power. Equinix aims to achieve significant emission reductions by setting science-based targets and engaging suppliers to do the same. By 2030, the company plans to reach 100% renewable energy coverage through diverse strategies. Notable achievements include a 24% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions from the 2019 baseline and increased Scope 3 emissions coverage to 25%. Equinix's commitment to reducing emissions throughout the value chain is evident, with significant renewable energy consumption in the Asia-Pacific region. The company's holistic approach to sustainability and innovation demonstrates its leadership in driving positive change in the data centre industry.
