Our Commitment to Zero
In the summer of 2017, Vail Resorts announced its Commitment to Zero - zero net emissions, zero waste to landfill, and zero net operating impact to forests and habitat - all by 2030. We’ve been busy implementing pilot programs, working with experts on energy initiatives, and learning from our employees.
Vail Resorts is aggressively pursuing a comprehensive sustainability commitment, called “Commitment to Zero” This ambitious undertaking has three main pillars and is our pledge to achieve zero net emissions by 2030, zero waste to landfill by 2030 and zero net operating impact to forests and habitat.

We set an ambitious goal for zero net emissions by 2030 because climate change is one of the most challenging issues facing our planet, and everyone has a responsibility to help address it. Vail Resorts plans to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2030 by reducing the amount of waste we generate, while diverting unavoidable waste to more sustainable pathways. Our interim goal is to increase our waste diversion rate from 37 percent in 2017 to 50 percent by the end of 2020. Vail Resorts intends to achieve zero net operating impact on forests and habitat by 2030 by planting or restoring an acre of forest for every acre of forest displaced by our operations from 2017 onward, with the goal of creating healthier, more resilient forests. We have been busy over the past year and are proud to announce the release of our first annual EpicPromise Progress Report, detailing the steps we have taken and what we plan to do to reach our emissions, waste, and forest and habitat goals.
