Since the inception of the company, Green Mountain has had the ambition of “Setting the green standard” in the data center industry. This entails that we want to establish ourselves as being the most energy-efficient data center company in the market, powered by 100% renewable energy and with close to zero CO2 footprints. We incorporate environmental data center sustainability in all aspects of our business – in the construction of data centers, in the operation of the data center and in the future, when decommissioning a data center. Our vision statement requires us to be the front-runner on data center sustainability. We want to be the company that pushes the needle and challenges the status quo. Please read more about what we do on renewables, heat reuse and waste management. You can even try our CO2 calculator to find out how much CO2 your company can save by moving your data load to Green Mountain.

Sustainability Reports

Sustainability Reporting

In Green Mountain, sustainability is a holistic commitment that spans the entire spectrum of ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance. This means our daily work involves everything from optimizing facility efficiency to fostering a supportive workplace and driving strong corporate governance. This journey connects our entire organization, from Operations to HR, and extends outward to our clients, partners, and neighbors. By driving these initiatives forward together, we set a higher standard for our industry

An important tool in this work is our annual sustainability report. From 2025, our voluntary reporting is aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This means our sustainability data is structured, standardized and managed with the same level of rigor as financial information, improving transparency, consistency and comparability.

The Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact gives us valuable discussions, insights and know-how across European players in our industry, with a clear ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.
