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’re securing a sustainable future by partnering with our customers, enabling them to make better decisions about how they manage their most valuable information and assets. We’re supporting our employees with a culture of diversity and inclusion, and it is through their efforts that we deliver on our promises to our customers and to our communities. And we’re uplifting the quality of life in those communities where we operate through our commitments to environmental and social sustainability.

At Iron Mountain, we’re using our influence and expertise to drive innovations that will not only protect and elevate the power of our customers’ work but will also make a lasting, positive impact on people, the planet and performance.

We stand alongside our customers

We strive to be our customers’ most trusted partner.

Iron Mountain provides customers with innovative solutions that bring them closer to achieving their purpose and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspirations. We believe that innovation and integrity pave the path to long-term, sustainable success. We build trusted relationships with stakeholders based on this philosophy. Our approach is underpinned by the conviction that ethics and good governance matter to our financial success. That’s why over 90% of Fortune 1000 companies partner with Iron Mountain and entrust us with their data.

A commitment to reducing environmental impact

We strive to take responsibility for a sustainable future by unlocking opportunities in our operations and beyond.

We embrace our responsibility to contribute to the fight for a net zero future for our planet, seeking opportunities to improve environmental performance within our operations. We enable our customers to manage information while meeting their environmental goals. And we partner with our suppliers to unlock opportunities to protect our planet, together.

An environment that fuels innovation

We strive to have past, current, and future employees view their experiences at Iron Mountain as an accomplishment and source of pride.

At Iron Mountain, we foster a culture of collaboration, courage, and customer obsession that all employees live by. We work together to create a workplace where employees’ authentic selves are welcomed, accepted, and included. When we fuel innovation through diverse ideas, backgrounds and perspectives, our people thrive, our customers benefit, and our business succeeds.

An approach that supports our communities

We strive to catalyze positive change in the communities in which we operate.

At Iron Mountain, our impact extends beyond the walls of our facilities. We contribute positively to the communities in which we operate by leveraging the unique capabilities of our business. We go beyond philanthropy to conduct business in a way that ensures a prosperous future for communities.

Iron Mountain’s robust network of 25,000 employees and 1,450 facilities are actively engaged in our global community. We offer volunteerism, financial grant awards and in-kind service to nonprofits and non-governmental organizations to help make our neighborhoods a better place to work and live. Our philanthropic efforts come to life through two programs: the Living Legacy Initiative, which provides financial grants and in-kind services, and Moving Mountains, our employee volunteer program.
