Hotham, together with Vail Resorts, is a part of an epic promise to the planet, as we set our sights on zero.

Zero net emissions by 2030.
Zero waste to landfill by 2030.
Zero net operating impact to forests and habitat.

“The environment is our business, and we have a special obligation to protect it. As a growing global company so deeply connected to the outdoors, we are making a commitment to address our most pressing global environmental challenge and protect our local communities and natural resources.”

- Rob Katz, Executive Chairperson, Vail Resorts

ZERO NET EMISSIONS BY 2030

Our most significant opportunity for making a measurable impact on climate change exists within our own operations as we strive to reduce our environmental footprint. We plan to achieve zero net emissions by doubling down on energy efficiency, purchasing 100 percent renewable energy and investing in programs such as tree planting.

ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL BY 2030

By improving our recycling and composting program, engaging with vendors to reduce packaging and source recyclable and compostable products, and working with our local communities to increase options for reuse and diversion, our goal is to reach a point where no waste goes to a landfill.

ZERO OPERATING IMPACT TO FORESTS AND HABITAT

To protect the beautiful environments we operate in, we are expanding our commitments to ensure the health and resilience of forests and habitats, such as planting an acre of forest for every acre of forest displaced by our operations, and expanding our partnerships with local organisations focused on the health of our forests and habitat.
