The loan refinances outstanding indebtedness and is designed to be used as a financing platform for the company’s future activity in Latin America, including Chile and Colombia.
The loan facility further promotes EdgeConneX sustainability objectives, incentivizing outperformance on the data centers’ energy efficiency, renewable energy consumption and environmental certification.

“This latest funding provides EdgeConneX with the backing necessary to continue its regional expansion in Latin America and to do so in a sustainability-minded way.”
The latest sustainability-linked financing comes after EdgeConneX secured a series of sustainability-linked financings totalling us$1.7 billion earlier this year. The financings include EdgeConneX first-ever securitization and multi-currency term loan (ESG Term Loan) to further the company’s global growth.
These transactions highlight EdgeConneX’s commitment to ESG as part of its customers, people and planet core values and environmental stewardship.
