The team behind sustainability pioneer Green Mountain share their insights into ESG, The Scandinavian Management Philosophy and collaborative cultures
“To operate efficient state-of-the-art colocation data centers, the number one priority for Green Mountain is to have skilled, motivated, and enthusiastic employees who are up for the task.”
This is the ethos of Tor Kristian, the CEO of Green Mountain. And it is this people-centric approach that has shaped the entirety of Green Mountain’s company strategy.
“Whether it is the operations team, project managers, service delivery, sales, management or supporting functions – they all contribute to the same goal; “Setting the green standard” in the data center industry.”
According to Kristian, Green Mountain is shaped by four core values: a strong customer focus; reliability and honesty; knowledge and enthusiasm.
“These values are deeply rooted in our company culture and reflect on anything we do. After all – it is all about the people.”
To delve deeper into Green Mountain’s people-led philosophy, and the importance of the human factor in the running of a data center, we spoke to four Green Mountain employees, spanning the company’s entire value chain.
