Iron Mountain Incorporated, a provider of storage and information management services, announced that The Boeing Company, Boston Medical Center, Credit Suisse, and Goldman Sachs have joined the Early Adopter program for its Green Power Pass (GPP), which the company describes as, "a first-of-its-kind solution in the data center industry for organizations seeking a transparent, industry endorsed accounting process to validate that 100 percent of the power they use at Iron Mountain data centers is from qualifying renewable resources."

Iron Mountain said, "Green Power Pass is the first solution of its kind in the data center industry to offer colocation customers of any size the benefits of renewable energy procured by the data center owner. It provides customers with standardized tool to meet their carbon reduction, green power and sustainability goals such as RE100, Science Based Carbon Targets, and CDP reporting."

"The solution is built on an "open source" protocol introduced last year by an NGO/industry collaboration called the Future of Internet Power organized by Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and supported by The Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA). Customers can rely on a transparent, industry endorsed accounting process validating that 100 percent of the power they use at Iron Mountain is from qualifying renewable resources. They receive an annual, audited certificate of attestation with full documentation on the source and chain-of-custody of the wind, solar or other renewable electricity associated with each facility. Iron Mountain also announced that Green Power Pass is now available to all colocation customers at every Iron Mountain data center across the globe," Iron Mountain said
