Case Study: Equinix achieves science-based climate targets with Anthesis

Equinix achieves 2030 climate-neutral commitment with Anthesis

Anthesis supported Equinix, the world's digital infrastructure company, in developing a science-based target (SBT) to reduce emissions across its global operations and supply chain. Equinix, which has a strong history of sustainability, sought to align its climate commitments with the Paris Agreement and become climate-neutral by 2030.

To address this challenge, Anthesis provided expert consultation on net-zero and decarbonisation. The solution involved developing climate target options, expanding Equinix's Scope 3 emissions inventory, and conducting cost-benefit analyses. This collaboration, which included executive stakeholder engagement and support for the SBTi validation process, resulted in Equinix becoming the first data center company to make a global 2030 climate-neutral commitment. The work by Anthesis is expected to have a sizable impact on the broader digital ecosystem.
