Equinix issues $500m green bonds

This is the group’s first green bonds in Singapore.

Data centre developer Equinix has announced the issuance of $500m in green bonds, an inaugural offering in the Singapore market.

The $500m green bonds will have a 3.50% senior notes due 2030. Offering closed on 13 March 2025.

Including this latest issuance, Equinix has issued a total of approximately US$7.3b of green bonds globally.

Equinix said these projects span a wide range of impactful categories—from green building development and renewable energy innovations to advanced energy efficiency, resource conservation and cutting-edge decarbonisation solutions.

“As AI adoption accelerates, advancing energy efficiency and integrating the latest sustainability innovations at our data centres becomes increasingly critical. The issuance of our inaugural green bonds in Singapore underscores our commitment to designing and building energy-efficient infrastructure, and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Yee May Leong, Managing Director, Singapore, Equinix.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
