  • Replaced old light bulbs with new LED technologies
  • Removed plastic bags from our retail stores
  • Trained staff in the importance of REDUCEREUSERECYCLE

Vail Resorts' Stories from the Road to Zero:

“We applaud Vail Resorts for their bold leadership and commitments that will help safeguard and accelerate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. We are also thrilled to welcome Vail Resorts to the Ceres BICEP Network and look forward to working with them as they become a more powerful voice for stronger climate and clean energy policies." - Mindy Lubber, Ceres CEO and President.


"Congratulations to Vail Resorts for making such a bold environmental commitment. When companies do right by the planet, they do right by us all. I particularly appreciate their creation of even more demand for renewable energy. Here’s hoping many companies are inspired by Vail Resorts and create their own ambitious commitments. It’s what the world needs now. It also happens to make great business sense."   - L. Hunter Lovins, President and Founder, Natural Capitalism Solutions.


"We’re delighted to welcome Vail Resorts to RE100 as our first member from the tourism industry. Vail Resorts is demonstrating clear leadership in its commitment to source 100% renewable electricity – a key step in helping the company reach net zero emissions by 2030. We look forward to others following this example."  - Sam Kimmins, Head of RE100 at the Climate Group.
