Founded in Silicon Valley in 1998 as a vendor-neutral multitenant data center provider where competing networks could securely connect and share data traffic, we chose a name that reflected our company’s focus on EQUality, Neutrality, and Internet eXchange—Equinix. And we began building the global platform our customers would need to make digital business happen: Platform Equinix®.
Thousands of leading enterprises have a presence in our global data centers, putting new opportunities with service providers, partners, and customers within easy reach. Whether you’re building a history-making product, blazing an industry-first business model, or pioneering a new way to collaborate globally, Equinix provides the global reach, the rich ecosystem, and the service excellence today’s enterprises need to compete and win.
At Equinix, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) are foundational to our values. In 2019, we invested to expand our, CEO-led, DIB program awareness and participation to all levels of the organization, globally. We partnered with experts in the field of diversity and inclusion to build a long-term strategy to achieve our DIB objectives. We stood up a DIB governance structure, which included the launch of a cross-functional and global DIB working group, led out of the Office of the CEO.
At the executive level, the team commitment included the appointment of two senior executives to co-chair an initiative to drive Equinix’s DIB strategy and implementation. This initiative included the formation of a cross-functional global working group that meets every week. The membership of the Allies Council, a group of senior Equinix leaders across functions and geographies who advocate for underrepresented communities, has doubled and will continue to be a key driver in implementing our DIB strategy.
Engaging with employees in what DIB means and how we create a workplace where all employees feel “I’m safe, I belong, I matter,” is an integral part of our approach. We are engaging with our senior leaders through the Allies Council and other facilitated forums with the Executive Team to leverage their unique responsibility to model, guide, and recognize this culture. In 2019, we engaged an external consultancy to assess our DIB health. This assessment included a review of our policies and practices, an all-employee values survey, interviews, and focus groups. With the assessment data, we formulated and invested in a multi-year DIB strategy. We plan to hold ourselves accountable in delivering our strategy and tracking our progress against concrete and measurable DIB metrics and goals.
