Vail Resorts Corporate Social Responsibility Statement
Vail Resorts ECHO, the Company’s social responsibility and environmental stewardship program, enables us to preserve and care for our communities and the spectacular natural environment that surrounds our resorts. It’s a philosophical approach to how we operate our business, being continually aware of how our decisions and actions resonate with our five stakeholders: our employees, shareholders, guests, communities and the environment. ECHO encompasses three core efforts --charitable giving, volunteerism and environmental stewardship. It is our hope that Vail Resorts ECHO continues to reverberate positively in the places where we live, work and play for generations to come.
In keeping with our companywide commitments to environmental stewardship we have developed several programs to enhance the guest experience while maximizing efficiencies.
We are the premier mountain resort company in the world and a leader in luxury, destination-based travel at iconic locations. Simply put, our product is the great outdoors and as such, we have a special obligation to protect the environment in which we live and work.
Our mission: Experience of a Lifetime
Our Company operates in three segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. They are highly integrated and interdependent.
Everything we do needs to be aligned with our five stakeholders:
- Our Guests
- Our Employees
- Our Communities
- Our Shareholders
- Our Natural Environment
Rather than conflict, we see opportunity in aligning the interests of all of our stakeholders.
For Vail Resorts, sustainability means perpetuating the superior quality of the guest experience, rooted in the strength and success of our Company and our employees, preservation and care of our community, and stewardship of the spectacular environment that surrounds our resorts….indefinitely.
