Our organization has the pieces in place to fight the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges—no matter what it takes.
Our commitments.
Aspen One’s SVP of Sustainability draws on 25 years of leadership to challenge conventional environmentalism and reveal how our love for the natural world can fuel transformative change.
At Aspen One, the parent company of Aspen Snowmass, The Little Nell and Limelight hotels, and ASPENX, we believe in taking the long view—and that voting matters.
Net zero, offsets, carbon targets, carbon neutrality. Those aren’t real climate solutions. Proof? As more companies than ever jump on the sustainability train, planet-cooking emissions continue to rise.
What if businesses used power, voice, and money to drive political change? At Aspen One, we’re focused on modeling solutions, amplifying provocative messaging, leveraging influence and promoting movement building, and convening next-generation thinkers to double down on the fight against climate change.
Our first Sustainability Report was released in 1999. A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to combatting climate change is stronger than ever. Twenty-five years later, we’re still asking hard questions about ourselves and the systems in which we operate.

Aspen Skiing Company has been at it for a whole. We launched the first sustainability department in the ski industry in 1997. We installed the first solar array. The first hydroelectric plant. The first employee run Environment Foundation. We started lobbying for climate policy in D.C. in 2004, and have visited the capitol a dozen more times. Over the years, our CEOs have published national op-eds on the need for climate action, and we helped develop the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED certification program with the Sundeck Restaurant on Aspen Mountain. There is a Harvard Business School Case Study on our environmental work that is taught internationally.
The Environment Foundation is a collaboration between the Aspen Community Foundation and our Family Fund (with added support from Lavazza). This nonprofit employee organization is dedicated to protecting and preserving the regional environment.
POW’s mission is to engage the outdoor industry and community in the fight against climate change. Our partnership unites our companies in this effort, sparking conversations with guests and employees, and helping drive the climate movement forward.
