Iron Mountain

Based in the US ( but rapidly expanding throughout the Indian data centre sector ), Iron Mountain has taken ambitious strides towards more sustainable operations in recent years . Last year , the company joined a small list of early adopters committed to tracking the hourly renewable energy load of their data centres . By tracking hourly usage from the company ’ s generator and comparing it to Iron Mountain ’ s hourly usage , the arrangement provides “ a future view of how firms can transition to truly carbon free energy supply .”

Scala Data Centers is bringing sustainable data centre design to Latin America . The DigitalBridge subsidiary is only a few years old , but has already expanded aggressively throughout Brazil , with plans to move into more countries over the coming years . Scala ’ s Brazilian operations achieved net zero carbon certification for 2020 and 2021 , and its sites have been powered by 100 % renewable energy under long-term PPAs , which are backed by renewable energy certificates , since 2020 .
