Fighting climate change
Iron Mountain actively seeks opportunities to improve our environmental performance, and reduce our carbon footprint and support our customers with their environmental objectives.
We are currently on track to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Climate Accord. We will go beyond our current Science-Based Target (25% reduction of absolute GHG emissions from 2016 baseline) and by 2025 will achieve a reduction of 25% of GHG emissions from Scope 1 & 2 energy sources from the 2019 baseline.
Some of the steps and results we have achieved against Carbon Net Zero targets to date include:-
UK operations were among our first to be certified to ISO 14001 for environmental management over 12 years ago. (Environmental Management Standard) and recertified all Data Centre facilities under ISO 50001 (Energy Management).
As part of our EV100 commitment, we will transition 10% of our total fleet (100% of our cars and 50% of our vans) to electric by 2025 and expect to exceed 2,000 vehicles by 2030.
Currently, in the UK, 98% of our energy use at all sites is green power purchased. We are working to reduce the final 2%.
We have upgraded over 56,000 lights to LED across 32 sites in just the past five years in the UK.
We have completed 9 on-site solar systems in the UK for a total 1.65 MW of generation capacity.
In 2021, we implemented an irrigation control program at 41 of our facilities that will save an estimated 17.7 million gallons of water per year.
We will work with G-Cloud customers to develop specific and measurable additional social value commitments aligned to their priorities.Covid-19 recovery
Iron Mountain recognises that Covid-19 has had a significant impact on many communities and businesses within the UK. We introduced a variety of measures to support our customers with flexible ways of working implemented at pace to support the changes in business activity that the pandemic has caused. We built a strong foundation to respond to the pandemic in 2020 when we established our Crisis Management Core Team and implemented COVID-19 protocols in line with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Our initial efforts combined monitoring key metrics, adjusting workplace practices, providing personal protective equipment to ensure optimal working conditions for on-site employees, and supporting our employee’s physical and mental health.
To support our customers in their critical work, we have developed new ways of delivering services, many of which have become standard practices. One example includes replacing physical file retrievals with our digital platform (InsightⓇ Content Services Platform) and service enabling remote working across critical records. This was delivered in a fast tracked implementation of 14 days. For some customers this has now become the default method for all retrieval activity post pandemic, supporting service levels, delivering on commercial and environmental objectives.
We will work with G-Cloud customers to develop specific and measurable additional social value commitments aligned to their priorities.Tackling economic inequality
Iron Mountain (IM) cultivates a culture of inclusion that values diverse perspectives across our global workforce. Our Inclusion & Diversity strategy includes four areas of focus that each have several activities and approach:
Build a more inclusive culture
Increase workforce diversity at all levels
Establish a global mindset
Embed accountability.
IM has demonstrable experience of tackling workforce inequality. As part of our annual CSR measurements we actively measure a variety of diversity goals, including gender within leadership positions. We received a 90 percent score on the Disability Equality Index® (DEI) and are a DEI Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion. In addition, in 2022 for the fifth year in a row, we scored 100% on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for LGBTQ Workplace Equality.
We also focus our efforts on supporting staff training to increase staff progression. In 2021, we expanded our Global Management Development Program (MDP), a comprehensive learning framework developed in 2020 in partnership with LinkedIn Learning, an online educational platform. After an initial pilot group, in 2021 the MDP included 131 managers from around the world. We have seen MDP alumni grow in their roles as managers with more than 20% receiving a promotion or role expansion in 2021.
We will work with G-Cloud customers to develop specific and measurable additional social value commitments aligned to their priorities.Equal opportunity
Iron Mountain has a long and demonstrable experience of supporting employment and development opportunities in the communities in which we operate. This is one of our key principles and objectives and one that we also flow down contractually, develop and manage via our subcontractors. One of our key factors in selecting subcontractors is their track record and proven ability in creating and developing employment and skills training. Iron Mountain is committed to building an inclusive working environment and monitoring diversity within our workforce. One example includes measurements around gender pay parity. 2023 will see the launch of a new multi-faceted Women in Leadership initiative for our female Director+ population. Our goals are: ● We will relentlessly strive to be a world-class employer in every region in which we operate ● By 2025 we will tighten our threshold for gender pay parity from +/-10% to achieve +/- 5% across all organisational levels in all countries where we are reporting (US, Canada, UK) ● By 2025, women will represent 40% of global leadership.We will work with G-Cloud customers to develop specific and measurable additional social value commitments aligned to their priorities. As part of our annual CSR measurements we actively measure a variety of diversity goals, including gender within leadership positions. We received a 90 percent score on the Disability Equality Index® (DEI) and are a DEI Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion. In addition, we are a member of the Disability Confident Scheme.Wellbeing
Iron Mountain strives to create a workplace where employees’ authentic selves are welcomed and valued. In 2021, we established a dedicated company-wide Culture and Engagement (C&E) team to foster a culture of recognition, continuous learning, wellbeing, innovation and belonging.
