Equinix is led by Charles J. Meyers who runs his X account like a LinkedIn, posting exclusively about the company with one or two mentions of the company's ESG and sustainability efforts. The company itself typically only gets press related to its financial performance. On social media, the company does not make many political statements, but does include references to DEI and ESG initiatives on its Instagram and X pages. Company's website mentions sustainability and equality in the About Us section and has a Corporate Sustainability section in the footer. Company is a signatory of the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact, has priced over $1B in green bonds, and won several sustainability awards from the EPA.

Political Contributions Risk

4

Contributes almost exclusively to Democrats, with all contributions coming from senior executives. Contribution level ranks among the lower-middle threshold of the digital infrastructure sector by magnitude. Most Democratic-leaning in its sector; the sector as a whole is relatively bipartisan.

Political Dichotomy Risk

2

Equinix is primarily a B2B firm, which insulates it from risk. Still, contributions are overwhelmingly Blue, but customers are likely politically diverse. Firm's 10-K notes the importance of BNB relationships, noting that individual consumers are of little importance to business operations. Considering Equinix's small political contributions magnitude, lack of political social media posts, and lack of non-business consumers, the company is at low risk of a political boycott.

Associational Risk

2

Research revelead no potentially controversial associations. Contributions to President Biden and Vice President Harris increase risk.

Brand Visibility Risk

1

Equinix is similar to other B2B Software companies: it is highly insulated from controversy, not very visible.

Political Hazard (pH) Ratings Explained

A corporation’s Political Hazard Rating, or pH rating, is an overall assessment of the corporation’s likelihood of facing a material consumer boycott or investor backlash from a controversy caused by the company’s or its executives’ political activities and proclivities. The pH ratings range from 1 to 5, with a higher rating correlating with higher risk. The categories below are the components considered when setting a company’s pH rating.
