Upholding standards, ensuring excellence
Being compliant with international standards is crucial to running a high-quality data center. A strong focus on governance secures our ability to live up to society’s and customers’ high sustainability standards and supports the quality of our processes and procedures.
Governance refers to the set of policies, procedures, and practices that ensure the efficient and secure operation of our data centers. Green Mountain’s governance framework is built on a strong foundation of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) principles.

Social Responsibility at Green Mountain
At Green Mountain, we are committed to integrating social responsibility into all aspects of our business. We focus on four key areas: working conditions, diversity and inclusion, education and competence development, and community support. Our goal is to foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive work environment while positively impacting the communities where we operate.
Working Conditions
We prioritize the well-being of our employees by ensuring safe working conditions and financial security and nurturing workplace culture. We believe that satisfied employees lead to satisfied clients, as demonstrated by our client partnership engagement score of 5.73/6 over the past five years.
Diversity and Inclusion
The digital infrastructure industry has traditionally been male-dominated, but Green Mountain has more female employees than the industry average. We are committed to increasing the number, particularly in technical and leadership roles. Our recruitment processes are designed to ensure equal opportunities and non-discrimination, and we actively seek to broaden our talent search to attract more female candidates. While we have made progress, we remain committed to expanding diversity in all areas.
Education and Competence Development
We believe in continuous learning and development. Under our Green Academy initiative, we offer:
- Apprenticeships and internships
- Support for further education
- Sustainability training on waste management, energy efficiency, and environmental protection
By equipping our employees with the right skills and knowledge, we empower them to make sustainable decisions in their daily work.
Community Support
Green Mountain is committed to making a positive impact in the communities that host our data centers. To strengthen this commitment, we have established the Green Mountain Community Support Fund, an initiative dedicated to supporting local sports and cultural activities for children and youth.
In 2024, we doubled the fund to 1,000,000 NOK, allowing us to expand our contributions and create even greater value in the communities where we operate.
Over the years, we have also built strong partnerships with local sports teams, such as:
- Driv IL (Enebakk)
- Mastra IL (Stavanger region)
- Rjukan IL & Tinn IL (Rjukan region)
- Storhamar IL Ice Hockey (Innlandet)
With this fund, we aim to expand our support and include even more aspects of community life, ensuring that we remain a key contributor to the well-being and development of our local communities.
