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.

Our sustainability pillars

Iron Mountain provides customers with innovative solutions that bring them closer to achieving their purpose and 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 future success.

We embrace our responsibility to contribute to the fight for a net zero future for our planet. We seek opportunities to improve environmental performance within our operations and 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.

At Iron Mountain, we foster a culture of collaboration, courage, and customer obsession that all Iron Mountain 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.

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.

Diversity, equity & inclusion at Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain is committed to intentionally creating and supporting an inclusive and diverse workforce. This culture of diversity allows us to recruit, hire, and retain the best talent while fostering an inclusive environment where many voices are heard. We see diversity as all the characteristics and experiences that define each of us as individuals. Diversity includes everything that makes us who we are—all the ways in which we are similar, and all the ways in which we are different. Diversity includes things like race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, gender identity or gender expression.

Inclusion happens when you value the differences and the commonalities of others. One of our core values is to promote inclusion and teamwork throughout the various parts of our organisation. This means we look for and value each other’s unique ideas and perspectives to get better results.

Our sustainability goals

These goals demonstrate our ongoing dedication to embedding sustainability throughout our organisational processes. We aim to protect our planet, including achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, empowering our people, and strengthening our communities.
