A message from our CEO and President
Dear Partners,
When I took on the position of Equinix CEO and President in June 2024, it was with great appreciation for both the company’s legacy and its promise for the future. Looking back, Equinix has been built on 26 years of strategic planning, operational excellence and customer service. Looking forward, with the continued momentum of cloud adoption and artificial intelligence, these qualities will no doubt endure—but we intend to augment them with an even bolder approach to growth and an even deeper aspiration to connect our customers and the world like never before.
In the first six months, my priority was listening—to customers, partners, policymakers, employees, shareholders, and members of the communities in which we operate. It is with the input and insights from these voices that we have defined the true scope of the opportunities ahead, as well as the measures we need to take to make the most of them.
Later in the year, we began putting these measures into action, adapting our business strategically, structurally and operationally to meet tomorrow’s demand for digital infrastructure. I’m incredibly pleased and proud that, in 2024, the Equinix team clearly demonstrated its ability to evolve and execute equally successfully.
Our future first approach
We believe in a future where technology drives sustainable growth. Future First is our commitment to sustainability as we deliver digital infrastructure that fosters positive change through secure and efficient solutions.
In 2024, we remained true to our commitments around sustainability and operational excellence, delivering greater than five nines of uptime for our customers and improving our power usage effectiveness (PUE) by more than 6%.
We also achieved our seventh consecutive year of greater than 90% renewable energy coverage and executed 370 megawatts of new power purchase agreements (PPAs).
In recognition of the dedication of our teams in advancing our sustainability efforts, we were pleased to be recognised on CDP’s prestigious Climate Change ‘A’ List for the third consecutive year and to be rated AAA by MSCI for the first time. We were also delighted to be recognised as an industry leader in real estate by JUST Capital for the fourth consecutive year.
Our way forward
The pace of technological change has never been faster. I strongly believe that the market opportunity, and Equinix’s relevance to that opportunity, has never been greater.
The timing for a bolder approach could not be better. Equinix’s future as a leader in the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure industry is at least as bright as its legacy. Our performance in 2024 demonstrates the strength, resilience and consistency of our business and is a tribute to our global footprint, leading interconnection density and deeply skilled teams. I am confident that all of this together will continue to extend our already substantial differentiation in the market and enable Equinix to deliver digital infrastructure that is more powerful, accessible and sustainable.
With appreciation for your continued trust,
Adaire Fox-Martin
Chief Executive Officer and President
