Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Many organisations account and report on the emissions they generate, and have set goals to reduce these emissions over time. Increasingly, organisations have also begun to engage with their supply chains to account for emissions from “cradle to grave,” meaning along the complete lifecycle. By collaborating with suppliers, organisations can assess what emissions are material to their business, and look for innovative ways to reduce them. Iron Mountain Data Centres procurement of 100% renewable energy and the Green Power Pass product give organisations access to clean energy, enabling their data centre load to support their Net Zero goals.

Waste

Pollution has become a growing concern, and there are global efforts underway seeking ways to clean up and reduce additional pollution. Organisations are exploring innovative ways to apply Circular Economy principles into their operations, divert waste from landfills, or even go “zero waste.” Iron Mountain applauds these efforts, and can support them in a number of ways. Our Secure Shredding program recycles all collected paper, and even provides a Green Report to provide essential ESG reporting data as well as helpful and customised information on the environmental benefits from each of our customers’ programs.
