Summary: Let \(X\) be a locally compact geodesically complete CAT(0) space and \(\Gamma\) be a discrete group acting properly and cocompactly on \(X\). We show that \(\Gamma\) contains an element acting as a hyperbolic isometry on each indecomposable de Rham factor of \(X\). It follows that if \(X\) is a product of \(d\) factors, then \(\Gamma\) contains \(\mathbb Z^d\).
