Equinix Expands Green Business Initiative
May 27, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator Equinix (equinix.com) announced on Tuesday that all four of its Silicon Valley Internet Business Exchange centers have received certification from the Bay Area Green Business Program (greenbiz.ca.gov).
The Bay Area Green Business Program was developed by local governments, in collaboration with the US EPA, Cal EPA department of toxic substances control and the business community, and “verifies that businesses meet higher standards of environmental performance.” It reviews company programs that support energy conservation, “green” purchasing policies, recycling, pollution control and transportation alternatives, and it awards certification after an external audit by local government officials, says Equinix.
Further emphasizing its commitment towards supporting green initiatives in the data center business, Equinix reports it has also become a member of The Green Grid (thegreengrid.org), a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems.
