Our commitment to the highest standards of business and professional conduct differentiates our business as much as our technology .

In 2021, each pillar was led by at least one member of the executive team (these members comprise the Executive Steering Committee which includes our CEO, CFO, CHRO/CLO, and EVP, Global Operations) who are responsible for delegating ESG topics to other senior executives and employees . § Day-to-day the sustainability in 2021 was led by a global program director and executed by a Working Team that consists of ~30 global and regional leads . The Working Team meets periodically, the Steering Committee meets 2-4x annually, and the program director with support of the Working Team has access to the CEO and Board of Directors Nominating and Governance Committee quarterly as needed . § Consultation with stakeholders is led by the working team and Equinix’s materiality assessment (last updated in the fall of 2020) engaged a variety of stakeholders who provided their feedback on Equinix’s ESG programs and goals . Equinix’s Investor Relations (IR) team also met with numerous investors around the world by attending or hosting over 30 investor conferences, non-deal roadshows, and investor group events . Certain investors also requested engagement meetings to discuss topics related to our corporate governance model, ESG issues or our executive compensation program . Additionally, Equinix’s IR team proactively reached out for meetings with our 25 largest stockholders in the fall of 2021 to discuss these topics and solicit feedback .
