Securing a sustainable future through collaboration

We recognize the important role we play in our customers’ value chain.

We believe a sustainable future is only possible through collaboration. When we make commitments together — with our customers, suppliers, and the communities where we operate — we can not only multiply our efforts but can also make sustainable behaviors more accessible and achievable.

We take our purpose to “protect and elevate the power of our customers’ work” to heart, and seek to do all we can to embed this in the way we create sustainable solutions and services for our customers.

How can Iron Mountain support your sustainability goals?mountain ranges

Organizations understand the impact of sustainability and many have adopted initiatives supporting circular economy such as zero-waste or landfill diversion goals. However, they are often challenged with disposing or recycling materials which include enterprise, proprietary, or customer data.

Organizations need a solution that allows them to dispose of paper documents to achieve sustainability targets without compromising on data security and increased costs.

With Iron Mountain Secure Paper Shredding, you get the resources and proven expertise you’ll need to create, implement and monitor a comprehensive information destruction program that is convenient, compliant, cost-effective and sustainable.

Organizations are increasingly challenged with embedding sustainable and responsible practices across all facets of their operations, including records and information management.

The volume, velocity, and variety of information that organizations need to manage, store, and protect can be overwhelming. In addition, shifting business processes and staff changes can lead to challenges in identifying legacy records. These factors not only slow sustainability efforts but can increase risk and drive higher costs.

Smart Sort is a technology-enabled solution that leverages your organization’s records retention policies to sort and organize files according to destruction eligibility, record type, or other unique categories.

Organizations want to minimize the environmental impact of the products they purchase. There is a wide variety of storage boxes available for purchase. It can be challenging to identify boxes that provide clear information about their composition, manufacturing processes, and recycling options.

Records and information are the lifeblood of any organization. Safe and secure document storage is critical to compliance and business continuity. To properly organize, store and retrieve your documents and other vital assets you need reliable tools and supplies. The Iron Mountain Eco Box provides durability and security while also being responsibly sourced, 100% recyclable and easy to order and receive.

Sustainability is a core tenet of our data center business and a key part of how we partner with our customers. We're deeply committed to being a socially and environmentally responsible data center solution provider.

Green Power Pass, an industry-first solution, allows customers to confidently report their power consumption at our global facilities as 100% clean energy. This directly helps them achieve their own ambitious decarbonization targets. We've also been covering 100% of our global data center electricity consumption with renewable energy purchases each year since 2017, and we've set an even more ambitious goal to achieve 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2040. We're also proud to lead in green building, being the first to construct a BREEAM design-certified data center in North America, and we commit all of our new colocation sites to achieving BREEAM certification.

Beyond just energy, we're dedicated to environmental responsibility. This means investing in energy efficiency and water conservation for our existing facilities, and striving for Net Zero GHG from operations by 2030. We prioritize optimal efficiency in our data centers, including highly efficient new builds and leveraging natural resources like underground aquifers for cooling in Western Pennsylvania and Kansas City, MO. We also actively pursue diverse carbon-free energy sources, from the largest rooftop solar installation of any data center in the U.S. at our Edison, NJ site, to exploring innovative solutions like renewable tidal energy through our partnership with SeaQurrent®. Our commitment is demonstrated via publicly stated goals including our progress detailed in our annual data center sustainability reports.

In addition, customers receive a detailed report on their power consumption and full documentation on the amount, source, and chain-of-custody of the wind, solar or other renewable electricity associated with their Iron Mountain facility.

Continuous technological innovation has produced an explosion of e-waste, which has resulted in increased regulation focused on improving global sustainability.

We work with our customers to reduce their carbon emissions and e-waste through our IT Asset Disposition services. By enabling faster and less disruptive refresh cycles, we make it easier for companies to deploy newer, more efficient and environmentally friendly technology.

At the same time, our remarketing and recycling programs minimize the amount of material entering the waste streams. Our comprehensive, audit-ready reporting helps you manage performance against your sustainability targets.
