Equinix Joins American Business Act On Climate Pledge

(RTTNews) - Equinix, Inc. (EQIX), an interconnection and data center company, said it has joined the American Business Act on Climate Pledge. More than 140 companies from across the American economy are standing with the Obama Administration to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to climate action and to voice support for a strong outcome to this week's COP21Paris climate negotiations.

Launched earlier this year, the American Act on Climate Pledge is a commitment from private companies, local governments, and foundations who have stepped up to increase energy efficiency, boost low-carbon investing, and make solar energy more accessible.

Accelerating the shift to a low-carbon economy will produce benefits with regard to sustainable economic growth, public health, resilience to natural disasters, and the health of the global environment.

Equinix pledges to continue its efforts towards operating its portfolio of data centers using 100 percent clean and renewable energy.
