Actions
Looking to use sustainably driven solutions as much as possible across their operations, from guest rooms to the kitchen to laundry services, Vail Resorts works with Ecolab to help deliver a positive environmental impact while delighting guests in clean and safe spaces.
Ecolab solutions like our Aquanomic™ Laundry and SMARTPOWER™ warewashing programs help reduce wash time, water usage and water temperature and are implemented across Vail Resorts properties to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. These programs not only support Vail Resorts' ambition to achieve zero net emissions by 2030, but also maintain the company's high guest standards.
In addition, Ecolab's Oasis Pro™ Housekeeping program is utilized to help support Vail Resorts' goal to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2030. As concentrated liquids, Oasis Pro products reduce plastic packaging waste by up to 80% compared to traditional containers while enhancing employee safety with easy-to-use designs.
Outcomes
Ultimately, Ecolab and Vail Resorts are collaborating to help reduce the environmental impact of operations, advancing progress toward Vail Resorts' EpicPromise to do good for guests, communities and the planet.
