A Decade of Climate Action
Over the past decade, we’ve worked to integrate climate solutions into our business while also driving change beyond our walls through partnerships, advocacy, and policy efforts.
Our Four Climate Pillars
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Team Member Education
Advocacy & Policy
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
We partnered with Change Climate to measure and offset our carbon emissions in 2021 and identify strategies to continue to reduce emissions every year.
This process for setting actionable climate goals started included:
- Measuring Our Carbon Footprint - Ski Butlers measured its 2021 carbon footprint at 691 tonnes. This number includes all emissions from making and delivering our products/services, employee commuting, business travel, utility bills and more.
- Making a Plan to Reduce Emissions - We created reduction action plans to help lower our emissions over the next 24 months and beyond. Reduction Measure #1: We will remove 10 light duty LPG vehicles from our fleet and introduce 5 new electric vehicles. Reduction Measure #2: We plan to execute pilot programs to encourage employee commuting through public transit, ride-share or other multi-modal options.
- Offsetting Unavoidable Emissions - We offset these emissions by purchasing 691 verified carbon credits. This is the equivalent of offsetting 1,715,204 miles driven by an average gas-powered vehicle. These carbon credits supported an EV Charging Offset project in California (Project ID - 2073) through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. Ski Butlers satisfied the Climate Neutral Certified Standard for 2022.
Team Member Education
We are constantly educating, empowering and incentivizing our team members to help us achieve our sustainability goals. By employing hundreds of individuals from around the country, we are able to impact not only the ski industry, but also the people within it.
Advocacy & Policy
Since 2010, Ski Butlers CEO, Bryn Carey has personally worked with Protect Our Winters to advocate for better climate policy. Ski Butlers also participated in POW’s “I am Pro Snow” campaign by working with the town of Park City, Utah to commit to Net Zero by 2022.
Community Partners & Philanthropy
We believe that mountain towns have the ability to be a part of the climate change solution. As such, we’ve worked to measure our emissions and set actionable goals to be Net Zero across our business by 2030, and to help create and implement Net Zero plans for the mountain towns we operate in. Our journey started a decade ago when Ski Butlers owner Bryn Carey connected with Jeremy Jones from Protect Our Winters.
