CEO STATEMENT
Our People. Our Communities. Our Planet. And
Our Promise to protect the world’s information.
These are the moral and operational commitments we make as a business
and the four pillars that comprise our corporate responsibility program
called Taking CARE. Underpinning this program is our firm belief that we
create business value by creating social and environmental value.
My hope is that this report — the first such accounting from our company
— provides our customers, employees and investors with the level of trans-
parency and accountability they expect from us as we continually improve
our workplace and the communities where we do business.
You’ll see we have much to be proud of; and candidly, that we have much
left to do. This is a first report — that is, a starting point to begin an inter-
nal and external discussion on how we can continue to improve against the
four commitments listed above.
The data and information throughout this report are predominately
focused on our operations in North America and the United Kingdom,
which together account for 80 percent of our worldwide revenue. This
narrow view into our global business reflects both the newness of our cor-
porate responsibility program as well as our company’s desire to focus our
early efforts in countries where we do the most business and where we can
make the biggest social difference.
7IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // CEO Statement
This initially limited accounting is not to suggest
that our company isn’t concerned with sustainabil-
ity or social endeavors around the world or that
we’re not engaging in these types of programs
outside of these countries. Rather, our program
isn’t yet mature enough to properly track and
report on these initiatives to the degree of detail
and rigor we can share at this time.
Let me quickly provide some additional back-
ground that I think will help you put this report
into context.
Our team has always held itself to a set of core
values and ethical practices for how to treat each
other and do business. In 2012, however, we real-
ized we needed to go further and cultivate a new
set of organizational skills if we were to properly
address the multi-faceted social and environmen-
tal opportunities facing us. That awareness led
us to create Taking CARE and establish a team
that could oversee a broad agenda that includes
workforce diversity, environmental sustainabil-
ity and corporate citizenry. This year, we took
another step in formalizing this function by cre-
ating the role of senior vice president of corpo-
rate responsibility and chief diversity officer to
lead our global efforts.
We have produced good early results that you’ll
read more about in this report, including energy
savings through facility-lighting upgrades and
truck fleet optimization, saving both CO2
emis-
sions and our company millions of dollars. Our
employees have also logged more than 100,000
volunteer hours in the past two years in service to
the communities in which we do business.
Thank you for taking the time to read this report.
We welcome your feedback so that we can find
quicker solutions to some of our unmet chal-
lenges. Like you, we will measure our success on
our continual progress and what we do next.

A COMMITMENT TO
CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY
At Iron Mountain we are
passionate about serving our
customers and communities
and are committed to building
a great workplace and a
better world. By being a
responsible corporate citizen,
we create opportunities for
all our partners and reinforce
our foundation of sustainable
business growth.
9IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
We recognize that successfully addressing the
pressures on sustainable development requires
both strong collaboration among many partners
and new levels of business innovation. These
challenges include global and local resource
constraints, environmental pressures, challenging
developments in many economies and persisting
or widening social divides. Investors, customers,
employees and civil society increasingly expect
leading corporations to be part of the solution
rather than the problem.
Those companies that step up to their responsi-
bility create an opportunity to strengthen their
relationships with their customers and partners,
form new relationships with like-minded organiza-
tions and improve their business in the process.
We aspire to be part of this group and are working
to understand, address and share the challenges
of corporate responsibility and sustainability in a
comprehensive manner. These challenges include
business risks related to climate change, which
Iron Mountain faces as a company that owns and
operates more than 1,000 secure storage facilities
around the world vulnerable to potential extreme
weather events and related unplanned power
outages or supply disruptions.
THOSE COMPANIES THAT STEP
UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY
CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO STRENGTHEN THEIR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR
CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS.
10
We have the opportunity to mitigate negative
impacts and enhance positive social and envi-
ronmental contributions, including:
•	Ensuring secure customer information solutions
and ethical market practices
•	Responsible behavior with regard to job
creation and professional development in an
inclusive equal opportunity workplace
•	Energy and emission reductions in our facilities
and our vehicle fleet
•	Community engagement projects for the
company and individual employees.
The following chapters discuss our performance
and aspirations in this regard.

OUR COMMUNITIES
We support our communities through employee
volunteering and corporate philanthropy, including
the protection of cultural and historical treasures.
OUR PLANET
We strive to limit our
impact on the environment

customers to aid their
efforts in doing the same.
OUR PROMISE
We are committed to protecting our
customers’ information and privacy, enabling
them to focus on their core business.
OUR PEOPLE
We create an inclusive culture
that allows our employees to
reach their potential and to
be guardians of the world’s
most valuable information.

Creating Clear Reporting Lines
Up to the Top
In 2013, we revised our reporting structures on
corporate responsibility and implemented these
changes in the first quarter of 2014. Regarding
operative management and oversight, corpo-
rate responsibility programs are coordinated by
Iron Mountain’s director of corporate responsi-
bility, who now reports to a newly created role
of senior vice president for corporate respon-
sibility (SVP CR). This senior vice president is
also Iron Mountain’s chief diversity officer, who
reports in turn to the executive vice president,
strategy and talent, a member of our Senior
Leadership Team led by the CEO. At the gover-
nance level, we established a Risk and Safety
Committee of the Board of Directors in the first
half of 2014.
The SVP of corporate responsibility and his team
receive a bonus tied to achieving CR performance
goals. Our CEO and his direct reports receive
bonuses based on a number of companywide
performance indicators, which include financial
and non-financial objectives reflecting the compa-
ny’s success over the short and long term.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
15
A Strong Code to Ensure Ethical
Business Practices
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which
has been approved by Iron Mountain’s Board
of Directors, sets out clear expectations for all
employees. It includes strong requirements for
data protection and privacy, exceptional customer
service, fair marketing and sales practices, appro-
priate behavior in the workplace, corporate citizen-
ship, and the protection of human rights and the
environment. The Code includes strict prohibitions
against corrupt and fraudulent practices, conflicts
of interest, insider trading and discrimination.
All new employees are required to complete
an online training course on our Code of Ethics
and Business Conduct, and all employees must
recertify annually. The Code makes provisions
for whistleblower protection, and violations can
be reported anonymously. Any violation leads to
appropriate, case-specific disciplinary action up
to termination of employment.
Our ethical business standards don’t just apply
to Iron Mountain and its employees. We publish a
Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines our expec-
tations for suppliers, such as:
•	Ethical practices and avoiding conflicts
of interest
•	 Anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices
•	Appropriate behavior with regard to gifts
and entertainment
•	 Anti-discrimination
•	 Health, safety and security
•	 Environment and sustainability
•	The use of subcontractors and reporting
violations.
We seek suppliers and contractors that maintain
ethical standards in line with those upheld by
Iron Mountain using a strict third-party service
provider qualification process.

Clear Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee, Nominating and
Governance Committee and Finance Committee,
and consisted of 12 members at the end of 2013.
Additionally, effective with the 2014 Annual
Stockholders Meeting, we formed a new Risk
and Safety Committee. The board included 11
members who are independent pursuant to NYSE
standards, and the CEO of the company. The
chairman of the board is nonexecutive and inde-
pendent. Notes on principal occupations, direc-
torships and business experience during the past
five years as well as the age of all directors and
director nominees can be found in the company’s
proxy statement.
Iron Mountain’s Corporate Governance Guidelines
are publicly available on our website. The guide-
lines include criteria for nominees for directors,
which are selected on the basis of their integrity,
experience, achievements, judgment, intelligence,
personal character, ability to make indepen-
dent analytical inquiries, willingness to devote
adequate time to Board duties and likelihood that
he or she will be able to serve on the Board for
a sustained period. The Nominating and Gover-
nance Committee also considers the specific
experience, qualifications, attributes or skills
that qualify a nominee to serve on the Board or
a committee thereof in light of the company’s
business and structure. Due consideration is
given to the Board’s overall balance of diversity
of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Company Overview
21
As a result of selecting Board members who have
seasoned professional experience, most are over
55 years old excluding three who were between
48 and 54 during the reporting year. Although we
have not requested that board members provide
information on their race/ethnicity in the past,
we are preparing to do so in the near future.
Concerning gender, eleven members of the board
were male and one was female. With regard to
the effectiveness of the board, board meeting
attendance is tracked to ensure the minimum
attendance of any member is at least 75 percent.
In 2013, however, the average attendance at the
board meetings was more than 90 percent.
Iron Mountain’s Code of Ethics and Business
Conduct, posted on our website, includes a section
on recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest
between Iron Mountain and personal relation-
ships or outside activities. The Code applies to
Iron Mountain’s directors as well as to all of our
employees and officers.

OUR PROMISE
Iron Mountain is committed to protecting and
securing our customers’ information and privacy.
This is our promise and the core of both our
culture and service offerings.
23
Safe Information Management,
Convenient for Our Customers
We provide secure and cost-effective storage
and information management solutions. We’re
proud to protect some of the world’s most valu-
able information assets, including historical arti-
facts, cultural treasures, business documents and
medical records. In addition to our core services
of records management, data management,
document management and secure shredding, we
also offer a number of related services.
Our services account for information throughout
its entire lifecycle, enabling customers’ organi-
zations to lower storage costs, reduce risk, and
better use their information for business advan-
tage. We offer secure offsite storage facilities
for paper and electronic media storage, allowing
customers to use their onsite space more effi-
ciently. And they can quickly access that infor-
mation when needed, ensuring they have what
they need when they need it. And, once this infor-
mation no longer requires storage, our secure
destruction services allows customers to safely
and cost-effectively dispose of sensitive busi-
ness and customer information to better comply
with information privacy laws. Our solutions are
tailored to the unique needs of each business and
industry, allowing our customers to use informa-
tion as an asset to improve their business and
take advantage of emerging revenue and market
growth opportunities.
We focus on building value for our customers.
Trusting Iron Mountain with storing and managing
their information provides our customers the
opportunity to focus on their core competencies.
Additionally, outsourcing information management
services enables organizations to better protect
their assets and maximize value through lower
storage rental costs and regulatory compliance.

Seeking Feedback from Our Customers
We routinely engage with our customers through
surveys that both capture feedback on the
services and support they received from us as
well as help us identify emerging trends affecting
their business. We unified and formalized our
Customer Experience Initiative in 2011 to help us
better understand and meet the needs of our
customers; and in 2012, we began tracking a
consistent set of metrics and attributes. Repre-
senting our customer population by geography,
vertical, segment, service line and role, we
received feedback in North America from more
than 9,000 respondents in 2012 (13 percent
response rate) and more than 9,300 respondents
in 2013 (11 percent response rate).
One of the most important metrics that we track
is the percent of customers who agree that Iron
Mountain is “trustworthy.” Other key indicators
are the proportion of customers who agree that
we are “easy to do business with” and that we
“consistently deliver on commitments.” In the
course of 2013, we continued to improve our
performance in these areas.
In addition to these quantitative results, we read
and shared over 10,000 open text comments that
provided more depth about where we are doing
well and where we could improve, which we used
to inform service level improvements. We also
reached out to every customer that provided

us with a negative score on a key metric to see
if we could address their concerns. Through
that process we engaged with thousands of
customers.
Our Customer Advisory Board (CAB) has also
been instrumental in helping Iron Mountain
engage with customers, anticipate their future
needs and partner with them to provide value-
added thinking in areas like program measure-
ment. The CAB comprises strategic senior
customers who have been recruited based on
demonstrated leadership and credibility. We
request that these members hold their position
on the CAB for at least 18 months and participate
in regular meetings to work through key business
priorities important to both the members and to
Iron Mountain.

Protecting Our Customers’ Privacy
Protecting our customers’ information is critical
to the success of our business. Iron Mountain has
taken the necessary steps to ensure the security
of the data entrusted to us. On the rare occasion
when an incident does occur, we conduct a thor-
ough investigation of the cause and introduce
appropriate measures to avoid similar events in
the future.
We have a complete culture of security that
starts from the top. Meeting our commitment
to protecting customers’ information involves
far more than just closely controlling access
to secure facilities. It includes training, data
systems, operational processes to ensure a
rigorous chain of custody and continual auditing
and improvement.
Employees and visitors are required to adhere
to these security standards at all Iron Mountain
locations. These requirements include measures
to ensure proper identification of all building
occupants, including the assignment of photo
IDs and escorts. Additionally, facilities must
meet minimal physical security and structural
requirements to certify their ability to protect our
customers’ assets. For example, all new facilities
are equipped with an intrusion detection system
(IDS), which identifies and alerts us of security
threats such as intrusions or power losses. Oper-
ating in parallel is an access control system (ACS),
which restricts access to authorized personnel in
protected storage areas. During new construc-
tion of Iron Mountain’s facilities, building design
elements such as windows, lighting and entry-
ways are inspected, which allows us to both
identify and assess threats related to customer
privacy and physical damages.
28
Fulfilling and Shaping Strict Information
Security Standards
Iron Mountain abides by the strictest of industry stan-
dards on safeguarding information and ensuring data
privacy. Based on rigorous audits of our policies, systems
and technologies by Ernst  Young, we have received
SysTrust certification, are recognized on the list of
“compliant service providers” published by Visa and the
Payment Card Industry (PCI) and our Secure Shredding
service is “AAA” certified by the National Association for
Information Destruction (NAID).
Not only do we comply with stringent standards, we
also help set them. Iron Mountain has taken an indus-
try-leading position on safeguarding customer infor-
mation. We have received the distinct honor of being
appointed to the PCI Security Standards Council, helping
to shape the future development of standards on payment
card data security. We also serve on the Board of Direc-
tors for NAID, helping to establish and promote the ethics
and standards for secure information destruction.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise
29
Ensuring Free and Informed
Customer Choices
Protecting our customers includes our commit-
ment to always conduct ourselves fairly and
honestly in all sales-related activities. Our Code
of Ethics and Business Conduct requires all
employees to actively avoid misrepresenting or
overselling products and services. It includes
strict prohibitions, for example, on making inac-
curate legal or technical claims, overpromising
on implementation timelines or attempting to
obtain confidential information about prospective
customers or competitors. Fair competition and
anti-trust requirements ensure our customers’
opportunity to make free and informed choices
on selecting their providers. To this end, our code
clearly states that sharing information on pricing,
customer lists, business strategies or marketing
plans with competitors could give the impres-
sion that the company is trying to manipulate
the competition or customer base, and that such
actions are strictly prohibited at Iron Mountain.

Helping us follow through on our commitment
to be a responsible, trusted partner is a core set
of values that guide our behavior. These are:
protecting our customers’ information with the
utmost security, striving for total customer
satisfaction by meeting our customers’
expectations, working with candor through open,
constructive and respectful communication,
upholding strong integrity, taking accountability
for our actions, taking action quickly and
efficiently and capitalizing on our diverse skill sets
and experiences through constructive teamwork.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our People 34
Building a Diverse Team
As evidenced by the newly introduced role of
chief diversity officer, we place value in having
a diverse team that represents a wide range of
cultures and unique perspectives from a wide
range of cultures. While the global nature of
our business enables us to maintain a highly
diverse team, we also actively encourage diver-
sity through our hiring approach. In the United
States, where we employ 44 percent of our
workforce, more than 40 percent of employees
self-identify as belonging to minority groups.
Additionally, while less than 3 percent of our
global workforce is covered by union repre-
sentation — most of whom work outside of the
United States — we ensure that the rights related
to collective bargaining and freedom of associa-
tion are not at risk in any of the locations where
we operate.
In Q1 2014, the
company appointed
Ty Ondatje to the new
role of senior vice
president corporate
responsibility and
chief diversity officer.

At Iron Mountain, advancing a diverse and
inclusive workforce also means expanding our
percentage of people with disabilities and, in the
United States, actively seeking to employ mili-
tary veterans, active duty guard members and
reservists. As one of the 11 founding members of
the “100,000 Jobs Mission,” we
(along with a coalition that has
grown to include 160 corporate
partners) are committed to employing 200,000
military members by 2020. In 2013, we hired 76
veterans. In addition, Iron Mountain has been
designated a “Military Friendly Employer” by GI
Jobs and our veteran’s resource group mentors
our newest veteran employees.

Valuing Inclusion
and Diversity
As part of our journey toward
building a culture of inclusion, we
look to embrace differences as
part of the way we do business around the world.
We encourage employees to join one of our
employee resource groups as a way to develop
themselves and make a difference at Iron Moun-
tain and in our local communities. Our Women@
IronMountain employee resource group has 500+
members who encourage dialogue about the
positive impact of diversity, create networks and
mentoring relationships and offer professional
development opportunities.
To ensure nondiscrimination and equal oppor-
tunity in the workplace, our Code of Ethics
and Business Conduct clearly states that deci-
sions involving recruiting, hiring, developing,
promoting or terminating employees must be
based solely on merit and never on race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, marital status, age,
sexual orientation, gender identity characteris-
tics or expression, disability, medical condition,
U.S. Military or veteran status or other legally
protected classifications.

Nurturing Professional Growth
We are committed to investing in, acquiring and
developing our people’s capabilities. Nearly all of
our employees are covered by a predefined and
standardized performance appraisal process. In
2013, for the first time, we brought performance
management fully online for defined target audi-
ences, which included most of our North American
exempt population (referring typically to sala-
ried employees). Of these employees, 92 percent
completed the online process in our first year
of going online. Most of our nonexempt popula-
tion (referring typically to employees paid hourly)
also conducted a performance appraisal and had
discussions offline following a paper-based process.
In 2013, we held 22 goal setting virtual training
sessions for multiple audiences and developed
many tools and resources to help our employees
and their managers embrace change and adopt
our new system and processes. Additionally, all
new and newly promoted managers attend
Manager Essentials training, where they learn the
company’s approach to setting goals, coaching
employees and having impactful performance
and development conversations.

as well. In September 2013, Iron Mountain’s North
American Operations Learning Team won a gold
award from Chief Learning Officer®
magazine for
our successful implementation of a program that
prepares new employees to work independently
and supports longer-term employees to forge a
more unified company. Additionally, during Corpo-
rate Learning Week in November 2013, we received
Corporate University “Best-in-Class” awards
for integrating learning and development with
short- and long-term business plans. Finally, our
director of operations learning won the prestigious
“Learning Leader of the Year Award” from Corpo-
rate Learning Network, which recognizes leaders
who have overseen the development of innovative
programs that engage employees and foster a
culture of learning.

Dialogue with Our Employees
To stay in continuous dialogue with the whole
company, we conduct biannual employee surveys.
Iron Mountain’s 2014 sPEAK
employee engagement
survey included responses
by 75 percent of our global
workforce. This strong
participation gives us reliable and in-depth data
to understand and address how our team feels
about working at Iron Mountain. Compared with
other companies who also use this survey, Iron
Mountain is at or exceeding the Hay Group’s
“High Performing Norm” in a majority of catego-
ries. By benchmarking ourselves not just against
our prior results but also other top performing
companies, we gain better perspective for evalu-
ating our relative strengths and focusing on what
needs improvement.
Overall, the most recent survey showed a high
degree of employee trust and confidence in our
managers. Our team is highly motivated and
would recommend the company to others, and
most employees feel they are part of some-
thing great at Iron Mountain. They feel that
they understand the organization’s products,
services, values and goals, that their current
role properly utilizes their skills and that their
performance expectations are clear. Some areas
that employees highlighted for making improve-
ments were related to additional clarity around
Iron Mountain’s financial performance, seeking
stronger alignment between managers’ encour-
agement for innovation and employee risk taking
and removing barriers that impair productivity.
As a follow-up to the survey, we are working
on making these sPEAK insights actionable as
the next step in building on our strengths and
addressing where we can improve.

Keeping Our Team Safe and Healthy
Safety is our highest priority at Iron Mountain.
It is essential to keeping our commitments to
customers and maintaining our strong reputa-
tion as an employer. We fulfill this commitment
through our Safety Operating System, which is
predicated upon employee engagement, enable-
ment and accountability at every level of the orga-
nization. Our continued investments in our people,
fleet and work environments are advancing our
safety culture. For example, over the past four
years in North America we’ve devoted more than
$2.8 million to safety training and $10.5 million to
workplace safety improvements and equipment
upgrades. These investments have resulted in a
55 percent reduction in our overall injury rate
with a 57 percent reduction in lost time injuries
in North America and no fatalities over the same
period. In 2013 the rate of 0.80 lost work days per
million hours worked was an 11 percent decrease
from the previous year and lost days to illness
reduced from 0.19 to 0.17. Accident prevention is
also a significant focus for our drivers. Our fleet
safety program emphasizes safety and profession-
alism on the road at all times.

IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet 42
OUR PLANET
We understand
that the scale of
Iron Mountain’s
business and the
nature of our global
presence comes
with an inherent
responsibility to
protect the natural
environment.
43
Protecting the Environment
Our promise to safeguard valuable information
extends to the planet’s natural resources as well. In
practice, this means measuring our environmental
impacts, setting meaningful goals, monitoring our
performance against those goals and continuously
examining our operations to identify new ways of
reducing our footprint.
The environmental data we have initially begun
to collect is for North America (United States and
Canada) and the United Kingdom because, as
previously stated, these geographies represent
80 percent of our business and corresponding
operational footprint. We will seek to expand
our data collection processes and our targets
to account for additional regions in coming
years. The metrics currently tracked include
those covering waste and recycling disposal, use
of materials and a strong emphasis on energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet
In 2013, Iron Mountain
hosted the installation
of our first solar power
system. This array
provides enough power
to meet about 70
percent of the electricity
needs at our Windsor,
Connecticut facility.
44
Implementing Energy Efficiency
The energy we use in our buildings not only
directly drives operating expenses, it is often
linked to negative environmental impacts as
well. Recognizing this, we have been imple-
menting numerous energy efficiency efforts for
several years. In 2013, $5.7 million was invested
in lighting and HVAC retrofit projects across 165
facilities in North America. This program deliv-
ered millions of dollars in annual cost reduc-
tions and helped us reduce overall electricity
consumption by 9 percent compared to 2012.
Unfortunately, the unseasonably cold weather in
North America during November and December
of the reporting year contributed to an increase
of natural gas usage by 21 percent. As a result,
total facility energy use increased by 2 percent.

Reducing Our GHG Emissions
Since 2011, we have been conducting greenhouse
gas (GHG) inventories, measuring our direct
(scope 1) emissions that result from burning fuel
for our own operations — mainly in the forms of
diesel for our vehicle fleet and natural gas and
propane for heating — indirect (scope 2) emissions
that result from fuel burned by a third party for
energy used by our facilities — mainly in the form
of electricity — and additional indirect (scope 3)
emissions that result from most other forms of
fuel usage beyond Iron Mountain’s direct opera-
tional control — including business travel. In 2013,
we set a goal to reduce our overall emissions by 5
percent by 2014 compared to a 2012 baseline.
To address our scope 1 GHG emissions, we spent
over a decade optimizing our delivery routes so
that vehicle fuel use is minimized; and in 2013,
we began installing telematics technology in U.S.
vehicles. This technology collects and transmits
real-time performance information on accelera-
tion rates, idle time, mileage, and cruise control
settings. Equipped with this information, couriers
can continuously improve and achieve better gas
mileage and managers can identify opportuni-
ties for overall fleet performance enhancements.
In 2013, our fleet consumed 6.2 million gallons

The direct GHG impacts of our natural gas and
other heating products was a disappointment
due to abnormally cold weather conditions;
however, we did begin efforts to improve HVAC
system efficiency, which we believe will improve
future performance.

Finally, in terms of scope 1 tracking, we began in
2013 to include the release of Halon gas as part
of our GHG inventory. Like the U.S. government
and companies across manufacturing, energy and
technology sectors, Iron Mountain has relied on
the gas for several decades for its ability to extin-
guish fires without producing residues that could
damage the assets being protected. While we
closely monitor these fire suppression systems
inside our magnetic tape vaults, inadvertent
releases do occur in rare instances—usually as a
result of human error during maintenance work.
Because Halon has both ozone and GHG impacts,
we are reporting these releases as part of our
GHG inventory.
Reducing our scope 2 GHG emissions is primarily
accomplished through efforts that reduce elec-
tricity use. As previously mentioned, our lighting
retrofit project resulted in a decrease in emis-
sions by 11,333 tons of CO2
eq, which is over 3
percent of our total GHG emissions. The overall
result for changes in GHG emissions were essen-
tially flat from 2012 to 2013.

Managing Products and
Wastes Streams Thoughtfully
While Iron Mountain is a service-based busi-
ness, the corrugated boxes we provide to our
customers for storage are a branded, tactile
reminder of who we are and what we do. In 2013,
we sold 9,399,864 complete boxes, bottoms,
and lids to our customers. Given this significant
volume, we recognize that our decisions about
the material used to produce our storage boxes
can have a notable environmental impact. We
have therefore carefully selected a vendor for
our boxes that provides the perfect balance of
paper and pulp grades that meet our needs to
safeguard our customers’ material as well as to
achieve our environmental objectives.
With a mix of 65 percent recycled fiber, we
are limiting the amount of virgin pulp required
to produce our boxes, yet we retain the high-
quality strength of the material, which extends
the usability and potential lifespan of the boxes.
Because the majority of the boxes we sell are
also stored in our storage facilities, we often
have control over their disposal and can ensure
they are properly recycled, offering a closed
product loop of sorts. When boxes reach the
end of their storage life, they are bundled and
recycled along with any other non–Iron Moun-
tain boxes we acquire from customers. In 2013,
we successfully recycled a total of 9,941 tons of
corrugated from retired boxes in North America.
For many companies like Iron Mountain, paper is
an important percentage of their waste stream.
Because our business is predicated on infor-
mation security, we have a “shred-all” paper
policy, where 100 percent of waste office paper is
diverted to the same secure shred and recycling
process that we offer customers. This reduces
our overall waste stream but also underrep-
resents our recycle rate because the paper is
removed before it can be tracked by the waste
haulers. In 2013, our North American operations
created a total solid waste stream of 6,610 tons,
of which 10 percent entered a recycling stream as
reported by our waste contractor. We are working
to develop the best recycle rate benchmark and
improve the recycle rates at our facilities.

Offering Responsible Solutions
Like Iron Mountain, our customers have high
ambitions for reducing their impact on the
environment. Increasingly, our customers are
interested in partnering with us to achieve
their own environmental goals. In response to
this customer demand, our strategy is to offer
low-carbon document management, recycling
and waste-to-energy options. We feel that
including these elements in our strategy not only
benefits the environment but also differentiates
us from our competitors.
One of the most direct opportunities for us to
help our customers mitigate their environmental
impact is through our secure shredding services.
By diverting their paper waste into recycling
streams instead of landfills, Iron Mountain esti-
mates that our shredding service keeps approx-
imately 450,000 tons of paper from entering
landfills every year.
Helping our customers to understand these
types of savings is the purpose of our “Green
Report,” which provides a detailed description of
the environmental benefits associated with our

50
secure shredding program, including reductions
in air pollution, electricity, oil and water.
We also provide services to help securely destroy
customer data on other media, such as back-up
tapes and physical storage devices. This requires
the destruction of these devices under tight
controls and we send the material to a waste to
energy facility.
To ensure responsible recycling of the compo-
nents of customer hardware such as computers
and hard drives, Iron Mountain is a member of
the e-Stewards Initiative. e-Stewards is a project
of the Basel Action Network (BAN), a 501(c)3
non-profit, charitable organization of the United
States, based in Seattle, Washington. Its mission
is to prevent toxic materials in electronics from
causing long-term harm to human health and the
environment, particularly in countries with devel-
oping economies.

Choosing Responsible Partners
in the Supply Chain
Much like our employee hiring process is geared
toward finding candidates who are committed to
our company’s mission, we expect our vendors
and supply chain partners to share in our drive
toward environmental stewardship. While we
are constantly looking to improve our activi-
ties related to GHG management in particular,
we have uncovered opportunities to coordinate
with certain suppliers. For instance, in 2013, we
worked with our supplier of storage boxes to
consider higher percentages of recycled content,
improve recyclability and improve ergonomic
design for easier, safer handling.
IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Communities 52
OUR COMMUNITIES
Iron Mountain believes that the strength
of our organization depends on a deep
engagement with our local communities.
Our scale and global brand allow us
to forge strong local connections that
enable powerful impacts. These efforts
are coordinated through our Corporate
Responsibility department as part of our
Taking CARE approach — an embodiment
of Iron Mountain’s commitment to our
people, communities, planet and customer
service. Two corporate programs lead our
company’s philanthropic efforts: Corporate

THE IRON MOUNTAIN FOUNDATIONS //
The Iron Mountain Foundations are a set of private founda-
tions backed primarily by periodic company donations as
well as donations from company executives and employees.
The Foundations support our employees through two
different funding pools: the Richard Reese Employee Relief
Fund and the Education Fund.
In 2005, the Richard Reese Employee Relief
Fund was founded in response to the devastating
losses experienced by our employees during
Hurricane Katrina. The fund offers temporary
financial aid to employees who have suffered
from catastrophic events or personal tragedies.
Iron Mountain matches the contributions made
by its employees, and has distributed more
than $500,000 from the fund to our colleagues
around the world.
In 2004, we launched our Education Fund to
support the education of our employees’ family
members. We place a high importance on educa-
tion in today’s society, and provide tuition assis-
tance to our employees’ children who choose
to attend college. The fund has given away
more than $225,000 of financial assistance
in the United States alone. Additionally, the
John Jamison Iron Mountain Education Fund —
honoring a long-time employee — has provided
96 needs-based scholarships totaling $768,000
since it began in 2011.

Responsible Conduct in Public Policy
Part of Iron Mountain’s commitment to behaving
responsibly in the community includes abstaining
from partisan political activities. We do not make
political contributions from corporate funds
or resources. No corporate funds are used in
support of or in opposition to political candidates,
political parties, political committees or other
political entities organized and operating for polit-
ical candidates, or for ‘‘electioneering’’ communi-
cations. In order to provide eligible employees the
opportunity to pool their resources to support
candidates who understand the issues important
to Iron Mountain’s business and its employees,
the company administers IMPAC, a nonpartisan
political action committee supporting congres-
sional candidates at the federal level. Except for
administrative expenses, IMPAC is funded solely
by our employees and is not supported by funds
from the company.

IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // About This Report
We see corporate responsibility as an integral part of
business success, and thus want to ensure transparency
in our efforts for our stockholders and other stake-
holders, including customers, employees and members
of the communities in which we operate.
This is why, for the first time, we are disclosing our

  • 6. 6IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // CEO Statement CEO STATEMENT Our People. Our Communities. Our Planet. And Our Promise to protect the world’s information. These are the moral and operational commitments we make as a business and the four pillars that comprise our corporate responsibility program called Taking CARE. Underpinning this program is our firm belief that we create business value by creating social and environmental value. My hope is that this report — the first such accounting from our company — provides our customers, employees and investors with the level of trans- parency and accountability they expect from us as we continually improve our workplace and the communities where we do business. You’ll see we have much to be proud of; and candidly, that we have much left to do. This is a first report — that is, a starting point to begin an inter- nal and external discussion on how we can continue to improve against the four commitments listed above. The data and information throughout this report are predominately focused on our operations in North America and the United Kingdom, which together account for 80 percent of our worldwide revenue. This narrow view into our global business reflects both the newness of our cor- porate responsibility program as well as our company’s desire to focus our early efforts in countries where we do the most business and where we can make the biggest social difference.
  • 7. 7IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // CEO Statement This initially limited accounting is not to suggest that our company isn’t concerned with sustainabil- ity or social endeavors around the world or that we’re not engaging in these types of programs outside of these countries. Rather, our program isn’t yet mature enough to properly track and report on these initiatives to the degree of detail and rigor we can share at this time. Let me quickly provide some additional back- ground that I think will help you put this report into context. Our team has always held itself to a set of core values and ethical practices for how to treat each other and do business. In 2012, however, we real- ized we needed to go further and cultivate a new set of organizational skills if we were to properly address the multi-faceted social and environmen- tal opportunities facing us. That awareness led us to create Taking CARE and establish a team that could oversee a broad agenda that includes workforce diversity, environmental sustainabil- ity and corporate citizenry. This year, we took another step in formalizing this function by cre- ating the role of senior vice president of corpo- rate responsibility and chief diversity officer to lead our global efforts. We have produced good early results that you’ll read more about in this report, including energy savings through facility-lighting upgrades and truck fleet optimization, saving both CO2 emis- sions and our company millions of dollars. Our employees have also logged more than 100,000 volunteer hours in the past two years in service to the communities in which we do business. Thank you for taking the time to read this report. We welcome your feedback so that we can find quicker solutions to some of our unmet chal- lenges. Like you, we will measure our success on our continual progress and what we do next. William Meaney President & CEO August 2014
  • 8. 8IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility A COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY At Iron Mountain we are passionate about serving our customers and communities and are committed to building a great workplace and a better world. By being a responsible corporate citizen, we create opportunities for all our partners and reinforce our foundation of sustainable business growth.
  • 9. 9IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility We recognize that successfully addressing the pressures on sustainable development requires both strong collaboration among many partners and new levels of business innovation. These challenges include global and local resource constraints, environmental pressures, challenging developments in many economies and persisting or widening social divides. Investors, customers, employees and civil society increasingly expect leading corporations to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Those companies that step up to their responsi- bility create an opportunity to strengthen their relationships with their customers and partners, form new relationships with like-minded organiza- tions and improve their business in the process. We aspire to be part of this group and are working to understand, address and share the challenges of corporate responsibility and sustainability in a comprehensive manner. These challenges include business risks related to climate change, which Iron Mountain faces as a company that owns and operates more than 1,000 secure storage facilities around the world vulnerable to potential extreme weather events and related unplanned power outages or supply disruptions. THOSE COMPANIES THAT STEP UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS.
  • 10. 10 We have the opportunity to mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive social and envi- ronmental contributions, including: • Ensuring secure customer information solutions and ethical market practices • Responsible behavior with regard to job creation and professional development in an inclusive equal opportunity workplace • Energy and emission reductions in our facilities and our vehicle fleet • Community engagement projects for the company and individual employees. The following chapters discuss our performance and aspirations in this regard. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
  • 11. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report 11 OUR COMMUNITIES We support our communities through employee volunteering and corporate philanthropy, including the protection of cultural and historical treasures. OUR PLANET We strive to limit our impact on the environment and partner with our customers to aid their efforts in doing the same. OUR PROMISE We are committed to protecting our customers’ information and privacy, enabling them to focus on their core business. OUR PEOPLE We create an inclusive culture that allows our employees to reach their potential and to be guardians of the world’s most valuable information. FOUR PILLARS OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
  • 12. 12IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Integrity and Transparency Working with All Our Partners Corporate responsibility is not possible in a vacuum. We can only understand how to make a real difference and best support our partners’ aspirations through open dialogue. Through these efforts we ensure our sustainable position in the marketplace.
  • 13. 13 Key stakeholder groups engaged Main dialogue mechanisms and frequencies Main topics of interest raised by stakeholders Customers Regular customer feedback collected via surveys, focus groups, polls, interviews, Customer Advisory Board (CAB), Legal Symposium, etc. For example, in North America, surveys are performed biannually. Additional regular “courtesy calls” to customers by our Customer Response team. Safety and security of information. Service level agree- ments and convenience of access to stored information. Price point. For those with sustainability initiatives, response to CDP supply chain, environmental and social impacts of our operations and the services we perform for them, our vendor selection and preferences, employee safety and satisfaction. Employees Online global employee surveys and regular performance evaluation. Regular feedback via line managers. Iron Mountain’s stance as a responsible employer and corporate citizen. Professional development and career opportunities, compensation and health and safety protection. Opportunities for employees to play a part in the CR performance of the business. Stockholders Annual general stockholder meeting, investor confer- ence and Investor Day. Quarterly earnings telecon- ferences and webcasts. Industry- and broker-spon- sored conferences and non-deal roadshows several times per quarter. Earnings updates, business risks and opportunities outlook. For socially responsible investors and those using Dow Jones Sustainability Index and Carbon Disclo- sure Project data, also broader social and environmental business impacts. Non-profit partnerships Feedback from partner organizations and grant recipients, discussion with prospective grant recipi- ents, regular volunteer events and activities. The role of Iron Mountain in furthering social and environmental causes and its mitigation of any adverse effects of business activities. Ensuring the safety of and access to historically and culturally significant artifacts, records and information. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
  • 14. 14 Creating Clear Reporting Lines Up to the Top In 2013, we revised our reporting structures on corporate responsibility and implemented these changes in the first quarter of 2014. Regarding operative management and oversight, corpo- rate responsibility programs are coordinated by Iron Mountain’s director of corporate responsi- bility, who now reports to a newly created role of senior vice president for corporate respon- sibility (SVP CR). This senior vice president is also Iron Mountain’s chief diversity officer, who reports in turn to the executive vice president, strategy and talent, a member of our Senior Leadership Team led by the CEO. At the gover- nance level, we established a Risk and Safety Committee of the Board of Directors in the first half of 2014. The SVP of corporate responsibility and his team receive a bonus tied to achieving CR performance goals. Our CEO and his direct reports receive bonuses based on a number of companywide performance indicators, which include financial and non-financial objectives reflecting the compa- ny’s success over the short and long term. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Commitment to Corporate Responsibility
  • 15. 15 A Strong Code to Ensure Ethical Business Practices Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which has been approved by Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors, sets out clear expectations for all employees. It includes strong requirements for data protection and privacy, exceptional customer service, fair marketing and sales practices, appro- priate behavior in the workplace, corporate citizen- ship, and the protection of human rights and the environment. The Code includes strict prohibitions against corrupt and fraudulent practices, conflicts of interest, insider trading and discrimination. All new employees are required to complete an online training course on our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and all employees must recertify annually. The Code makes provisions for whistleblower protection, and violations can be reported anonymously. Any violation leads to appropriate, case-specific disciplinary action up to termination of employment. Our ethical business standards don’t just apply to Iron Mountain and its employees. We publish a Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines our expec- tations for suppliers, such as: • Ethical practices and avoiding conflicts of interest • Anti-bribery and anti-corruption practices • Appropriate behavior with regard to gifts and entertainment • Anti-discrimination • Health, safety and security • Environment and sustainability • The use of subcontractors and reporting violations. We seek suppliers and contractors that maintain ethical standards in line with those upheld by Iron Mountain using a strict third-party service provider qualification process.

  • 20. 20 Clear Governance Guidelines Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Finance Committee, and consisted of 12 members at the end of 2013. Additionally, effective with the 2014 Annual Stockholders Meeting, we formed a new Risk and Safety Committee. The board included 11 members who are independent pursuant to NYSE standards, and the CEO of the company. The chairman of the board is nonexecutive and inde- pendent. Notes on principal occupations, direc- torships and business experience during the past five years as well as the age of all directors and director nominees can be found in the company’s proxy statement. Iron Mountain’s Corporate Governance Guidelines are publicly available on our website. The guide- lines include criteria for nominees for directors, which are selected on the basis of their integrity, experience, achievements, judgment, intelligence, personal character, ability to make indepen- dent analytical inquiries, willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties and likelihood that he or she will be able to serve on the Board for a sustained period. The Nominating and Gover- nance Committee also considers the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that qualify a nominee to serve on the Board or a committee thereof in light of the company’s business and structure. Due consideration is given to the Board’s overall balance of diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Company Overview
  • 21. 21 As a result of selecting Board members who have seasoned professional experience, most are over 55 years old excluding three who were between 48 and 54 during the reporting year. Although we have not requested that board members provide information on their race/ethnicity in the past, we are preparing to do so in the near future. Concerning gender, eleven members of the board were male and one was female. With regard to the effectiveness of the board, board meeting attendance is tracked to ensure the minimum attendance of any member is at least 75 percent. In 2013, however, the average attendance at the board meetings was more than 90 percent. Iron Mountain’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, posted on our website, includes a section on recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest between Iron Mountain and personal relation- ships or outside activities. The Code applies to Iron Mountain’s directors as well as to all of our employees and officers.

  • 22. 22IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise OUR PROMISE Iron Mountain is committed to protecting and securing our customers’ information and privacy. This is our promise and the core of both our culture and service offerings.
  • 23. 23 Safe Information Management, Convenient for Our Customers We provide secure and cost-effective storage and information management solutions. We’re proud to protect some of the world’s most valu- able information assets, including historical arti- facts, cultural treasures, business documents and medical records. In addition to our core services of records management, data management, document management and secure shredding, we also offer a number of related services. Our services account for information throughout its entire lifecycle, enabling customers’ organi- zations to lower storage costs, reduce risk, and better use their information for business advan- tage. We offer secure offsite storage facilities for paper and electronic media storage, allowing customers to use their onsite space more effi- ciently. And they can quickly access that infor- mation when needed, ensuring they have what they need when they need it. And, once this infor- mation no longer requires storage, our secure destruction services allows customers to safely and cost-effectively dispose of sensitive busi- ness and customer information to better comply with information privacy laws. Our solutions are tailored to the unique needs of each business and industry, allowing our customers to use informa- tion as an asset to improve their business and take advantage of emerging revenue and market growth opportunities. We focus on building value for our customers. Trusting Iron Mountain with storing and managing their information provides our customers the opportunity to focus on their core competencies. Additionally, outsourcing information management services enables organizations to better protect their assets and maximize value through lower storage rental costs and regulatory compliance. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise
  • 24. 24 Who and Where Are Our Customers?

  • 25. 25 Seeking Feedback from Our Customers We routinely engage with our customers through surveys that both capture feedback on the services and support they received from us as well as help us identify emerging trends affecting their business. We unified and formalized our Customer Experience Initiative in 2011 to help us better understand and meet the needs of our customers; and in 2012, we began tracking a consistent set of metrics and attributes. Repre- senting our customer population by geography, vertical, segment, service line and role, we received feedback in North America from more than 9,000 respondents in 2012 (13 percent response rate) and more than 9,300 respondents in 2013 (11 percent response rate). One of the most important metrics that we track is the percent of customers who agree that Iron Mountain is “trustworthy.” Other key indicators are the proportion of customers who agree that we are “easy to do business with” and that we “consistently deliver on commitments.” In the course of 2013, we continued to improve our performance in these areas. In addition to these quantitative results, we read and shared over 10,000 open text comments that provided more depth about where we are doing well and where we could improve, which we used to inform service level improvements. We also reached out to every customer that provided IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise 2012 1H ‘13 2H ‘13 81% 80% 84%Percentage of customers who agree that Iron Mountain is: trustworthy

Through that process we engaged with thousands of customers. Our Customer Advisory Board (CAB) has also been instrumental in helping Iron Mountain engage with customers, anticipate their future needs and partner with them to provide value- added thinking in areas like program measure- ment. The CAB comprises strategic senior customers who have been recruited based on demonstrated leadership and credibility. We request that these members hold their position on the CAB for at least 18 months and participate in regular meetings to work through key business priorities important to both the members and to Iron Mountain. 2012 1H ‘13 2H ‘13 75% 72% 78%Percentage of customers who agree that Iron Mountain: consistently delivers on commitments 2012 1H ‘13 2H ‘13 73% 73% 79%Percentage of customers who agree that Iron Mountain is: easy to do business with
  • 27. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise 27 Protecting Our Customers’ Privacy Protecting our customers’ information is critical to the success of our business. Iron Mountain has taken the necessary steps to ensure the security of the data entrusted to us. On the rare occasion when an incident does occur, we conduct a thor- ough investigation of the cause and introduce appropriate measures to avoid similar events in the future. We have a complete culture of security that starts from the top. Meeting our commitment to protecting customers’ information involves far more than just closely controlling access to secure facilities. It includes training, data systems, operational processes to ensure a rigorous chain of custody and continual auditing and improvement. Employees and visitors are required to adhere to these security standards at all Iron Mountain locations. These requirements include measures to ensure proper identification of all building occupants, including the assignment of photo IDs and escorts. Additionally, facilities must meet minimal physical security and structural requirements to certify their ability to protect our customers’ assets. For example, all new facilities are equipped with an intrusion detection system (IDS), which identifies and alerts us of security threats such as intrusions or power losses. Oper- ating in parallel is an access control system (ACS), which restricts access to authorized personnel in protected storage areas. During new construc- tion of Iron Mountain’s facilities, building design elements such as windows, lighting and entry- ways are inspected, which allows us to both identify and assess threats related to customer privacy and physical damages.
  • 28. 28 Fulfilling and Shaping Strict Information Security Standards Iron Mountain abides by the strictest of industry stan- dards on safeguarding information and ensuring data privacy. Based on rigorous audits of our policies, systems and technologies by Ernst Young, we have received SysTrust certification, are recognized on the list of “compliant service providers” published by Visa and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and our Secure Shredding service is “AAA” certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). Not only do we comply with stringent standards, we also help set them. Iron Mountain has taken an indus- try-leading position on safeguarding customer infor- mation. We have received the distinct honor of being appointed to the PCI Security Standards Council, helping to shape the future development of standards on payment card data security. We also serve on the Board of Direc- tors for NAID, helping to establish and promote the ethics and standards for secure information destruction. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise
  • 29. 29 Ensuring Free and Informed Customer Choices Protecting our customers includes our commit- ment to always conduct ourselves fairly and honestly in all sales-related activities. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires all employees to actively avoid misrepresenting or overselling products and services. It includes strict prohibitions, for example, on making inac- curate legal or technical claims, overpromising on implementation timelines or attempting to obtain confidential information about prospective customers or competitors. Fair competition and anti-trust requirements ensure our customers’ opportunity to make free and informed choices on selecting their providers. To this end, our code clearly states that sharing information on pricing, customer lists, business strategies or marketing plans with competitors could give the impres- sion that the company is trying to manipulate the competition or customer base, and that such actions are strictly prohibited at Iron Mountain. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Promise OUR CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT REQUIRES ALL EMPLOYEES TO ACTIVELY AVOID MISREPRESENTING OR OVERSELLING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our People 34 Building a Diverse Team As evidenced by the newly introduced role of chief diversity officer, we place value in having a diverse team that represents a wide range of cultures and unique perspectives from a wide range of cultures. While the global nature of our business enables us to maintain a highly diverse team, we also actively encourage diver- sity through our hiring approach. In the United States, where we employ 44 percent of our workforce, more than 40 percent of employees self-identify as belonging to minority groups. Additionally, while less than 3 percent of our global workforce is covered by union repre- sentation — most of whom work outside of the United States — we ensure that the rights related to collective bargaining and freedom of associa- tion are not at risk in any of the locations where we operate. In Q1 2014, the company appointed Ty Ondatje to the new role of senior vice president corporate responsibility and chief diversity officer.

  • 37. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our People 37 Nurturing Professional Growth We are committed to investing in, acquiring and developing our people’s capabilities. Nearly all of our employees are covered by a predefined and standardized performance appraisal process. In 2013, for the first time, we brought performance management fully online for defined target audi- ences, which included most of our North American exempt population (referring typically to sala- ried employees). Of these employees, 92 percent completed the online process in our first year of going online. Most of our nonexempt popula- tion (referring typically to employees paid hourly) also conducted a performance appraisal and had discussions offline following a paper-based process. In 2013, we held 22 goal setting virtual training sessions for multiple audiences and developed many tools and resources to help our employees and their managers embrace change and adopt our new system and processes. Additionally, all new and newly promoted managers attend Manager Essentials training, where they learn the company’s approach to setting goals, coaching employees and having impactful performance and development conversations.

  • 39. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our People 39 Dialogue with Our Employees To stay in continuous dialogue with the whole company, we conduct biannual employee surveys. Iron Mountain’s 2014 sPEAK employee engagement survey included responses by 75 percent of our global workforce. This strong participation gives us reliable and in-depth data to understand and address how our team feels about working at Iron Mountain. Compared with other companies who also use this survey, Iron Mountain is at or exceeding the Hay Group’s “High Performing Norm” in a majority of catego- ries. By benchmarking ourselves not just against our prior results but also other top performing companies, we gain better perspective for evalu- ating our relative strengths and focusing on what needs improvement. Overall, the most recent survey showed a high degree of employee trust and confidence in our managers. Our team is highly motivated and would recommend the company to others, and most employees feel they are part of some- thing great at Iron Mountain. They feel that they understand the organization’s products, services, values and goals, that their current role properly utilizes their skills and that their performance expectations are clear. Some areas that employees highlighted for making improve- ments were related to additional clarity around Iron Mountain’s financial performance, seeking stronger alignment between managers’ encour- agement for innovation and employee risk taking and removing barriers that impair productivity. As a follow-up to the survey, we are working on making these sPEAK insights actionable as the next step in building on our strengths and addressing where we can improve.

  • 41. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our People 41 Keeping Our Team Safe and Healthy Safety is our highest priority at Iron Mountain. It is essential to keeping our commitments to customers and maintaining our strong reputa- tion as an employer. We fulfill this commitment through our Safety Operating System, which is predicated upon employee engagement, enable- ment and accountability at every level of the orga- nization. Our continued investments in our people, fleet and work environments are advancing our safety culture. For example, over the past four years in North America we’ve devoted more than $2.8 million to safety training and $10.5 million to workplace safety improvements and equipment upgrades. These investments have resulted in a 55 percent reduction in our overall injury rate with a 57 percent reduction in lost time injuries in North America and no fatalities over the same period. In 2013 the rate of 0.80 lost work days per million hours worked was an 11 percent decrease from the previous year and lost days to illness reduced from 0.19 to 0.17. Accident prevention is also a significant focus for our drivers. Our fleet safety program emphasizes safety and profession- alism on the road at all times. IN NORTH AMERICA WE’VE DEVOTED OVER $2.8 MILLION TO SAFETY TRAINING AND $10.5 MILLION TO WORKPLACE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT UPGRADES.

  • 43. 43 Protecting the Environment Our promise to safeguard valuable information extends to the planet’s natural resources as well. In practice, this means measuring our environmental impacts, setting meaningful goals, monitoring our performance against those goals and continuously examining our operations to identify new ways of reducing our footprint. The environmental data we have initially begun to collect is for North America (United States and Canada) and the United Kingdom because, as previously stated, these geographies represent 80 percent of our business and corresponding operational footprint. We will seek to expand our data collection processes and our targets to account for additional regions in coming years. The metrics currently tracked include those covering waste and recycling disposal, use of materials and a strong emphasis on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet In 2013, Iron Mountain hosted the installation of our first solar power system. This array provides enough power to meet about 70 percent of the electricity needs at our Windsor, Connecticut facility.
  • 44. 44 Implementing Energy Efficiency The energy we use in our buildings not only directly drives operating expenses, it is often linked to negative environmental impacts as well. Recognizing this, we have been imple- menting numerous energy efficiency efforts for several years. In 2013, $5.7 million was invested in lighting and HVAC retrofit projects across 165 facilities in North America. This program deliv- ered millions of dollars in annual cost reduc- tions and helped us reduce overall electricity consumption by 9 percent compared to 2012. Unfortunately, the unseasonably cold weather in North America during November and December of the reporting year contributed to an increase of natural gas usage by 21 percent. As a result, total facility energy use increased by 2 percent.

  • 45. 45 Reducing Our GHG Emissions Since 2011, we have been conducting greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, measuring our direct (scope 1) emissions that result from burning fuel for our own operations — mainly in the forms of diesel for our vehicle fleet and natural gas and propane for heating — indirect (scope 2) emissions that result from fuel burned by a third party for energy used by our facilities — mainly in the form of electricity — and additional indirect (scope 3) emissions that result from most other forms of fuel usage beyond Iron Mountain’s direct opera- tional control — including business travel. In 2013, we set a goal to reduce our overall emissions by 5 percent by 2014 compared to a 2012 baseline. To address our scope 1 GHG emissions, we spent over a decade optimizing our delivery routes so that vehicle fuel use is minimized; and in 2013, we began installing telematics technology in U.S. vehicles. This technology collects and transmits real-time performance information on accelera- tion rates, idle time, mileage, and cruise control settings. Equipped with this information, couriers can continuously improve and achieve better gas mileage and managers can identify opportuni- ties for overall fleet performance enhancements. In 2013, our fleet consumed 6.2 million gallons IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet 148,134 15,192 144,570 Emissions (MT CO2 e)  Scope 1: Natural gas, propane, oil, vehicle fuel, diesel, halon  Scope 2: Electricity  Scope 3: Business travel, electricity transmission and distribution losses

The direct GHG impacts of our natural gas and other heating products was a disappointment due to abnormally cold weather conditions; however, we did begin efforts to improve HVAC system efficiency, which we believe will improve future performance. 46IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet EMISSIONS: SCOPE 1 EMISSIONS: SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS: SCOPE 3 Region Metric Tons CO2 e North America 139,804 United Kingdom 4,766 GHG Type CO2 119,100 CH4 267 N2 O 231 CBrF3 24,972 Activity Natural Gas (223,693 MWh) 44,067 Propane (2,297 MWh) 490 Oil (537 MWh) 135 Vehicles (301,677 MWh) 74,906 Diesel 1 CBrF3 24,972 Scope 1 144,570 Region Metric Tons CO2 e North America 137,268 United Kingdom 10,867 Scope 2 148,134 Activity Metric Tons CO2 e Electricity transmission and distribution losses 9,358 Business travel 5,834 Scope 3 15,192
  • 47. 47 Finally, in terms of scope 1 tracking, we began in 2013 to include the release of Halon gas as part of our GHG inventory. Like the U.S. government and companies across manufacturing, energy and technology sectors, Iron Mountain has relied on the gas for several decades for its ability to extin- guish fires without producing residues that could damage the assets being protected. While we closely monitor these fire suppression systems inside our magnetic tape vaults, inadvertent releases do occur in rare instances—usually as a result of human error during maintenance work. Because Halon has both ozone and GHG impacts, we are reporting these releases as part of our GHG inventory. Reducing our scope 2 GHG emissions is primarily accomplished through efforts that reduce elec- tricity use. As previously mentioned, our lighting retrofit project resulted in a decrease in emis- sions by 11,333 tons of CO2 eq, which is over 3 percent of our total GHG emissions.

  • 48. 48 Managing Products and Wastes Streams Thoughtfully While Iron Mountain is a service-based busi- ness, the corrugated boxes we provide to our customers for storage are a branded, tactile reminder of who we are and what we do. In 2013, we sold 9,399,864 complete boxes, bottoms, and lids to our customers. Given this significant volume, we recognize that our decisions about the material used to produce our storage boxes can have a notable environmental impact. We have therefore carefully selected a vendor for our boxes that provides the perfect balance of paper and pulp grades that meet our needs to safeguard our customers’ material as well as to achieve our environmental objectives. With a mix of 65 percent recycled fiber, we are limiting the amount of virgin pulp required to produce our boxes, yet we retain the high- quality strength of the material, which extends the usability and potential lifespan of the boxes. Because the majority of the boxes we sell are also stored in our storage facilities, we often have control over their disposal and can ensure they are properly recycled, offering a closed product loop of sorts. When boxes reach the end of their storage life, they are bundled and recycled along with any other non–Iron Moun- tain boxes we acquire from customers. In 2013, we successfully recycled a total of 9,941 tons of corrugated from retired boxes in North America. For many companies like Iron Mountain, paper is an important percentage of their waste stream. Because our business is predicated on infor- mation security, we have a “shred-all” paper policy, where 100 percent of waste office paper is diverted to the same secure shred and recycling process that we offer customers. This reduces our overall waste stream but also underrep- resents our recycle rate because the paper is removed before it can be tracked by the waste haulers. In 2013, our North American operations created a total solid waste stream of 6,610 tons, of which 10 percent entered a recycling stream as reported by our waste contractor. We are working to develop the best recycle rate benchmark and improve the recycle rates at our facilities. IRON MOUNTAIN // 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report // Our Planet

Increasingly, our customers are interested in partnering with us to achieve their own environmental goals. In response to this customer demand, our strategy is to offer low-carbon document management, recycling and waste-to-energy options. We feel that including these elements in our strategy not only benefits the environment but also differentiates us from our competitors. One of the most direct opportunities for us to help our customers mitigate their environmental impact is through our secure shredding services. By diverting their paper waste into recycling streams instead of landfills, Iron Mountain esti- mates that our shredding service keeps approx- imately 450,000 tons of paper from entering landfills every year.

The Foundations support our employees through two different funding pools: the Richard Reese Employee Relief Fund and the Education Fund. In 2005, the Richard Reese Employee Relief Fund was founded in response to the devastating losses experienced by our employees during Hurricane Katrina. The fund offers temporary financial aid to employees who have suffered from catastrophic events or personal tragedies. Iron Mountain matches the contributions made by its employees, and has distributed more than $500,000 from the fund to our colleagues around the world. In 2004, we launched our Education Fund to support the education of our employees’ family members. We place a high importance on educa- tion in today’s society, and provide tuition assis- tance to our employees’ children who choose to attend college. The fund has given away more than $225,000 of financial assistance in the United States alone. Additionally, the John Jamison Iron Mountain Education Fund — honoring a long-time employee — has provided 96 needs-based scholarships totaling $768,000 since it began in 2011.
