Sustainability

Eagle Valley Commercial is committed to sustainability of the Eagle Valley and surrounding mountain environment. We value the ecological, economic, and cultural health of our community and our valley. Therefore, we strive to engage our participants, visitors, and employees in environmental stewardship and learning about the surrounding mountain environment. We also encourage our participants, visitors, and employees to participate in local cultural and educational opportunities that enrich our community’s sense of well-being. Eagle Valley Commercial uses a Sustainability Action Plan to set goals and guide our progress and we create an Annual Sustainability Report to communicate and celebrate our successes.

At Eagle Valley Commercial we are committed to sustainability and the “triple bottom line” approach including: environmental sustainability, financial sustainability, and social equity. We integrate sustainability into our management and facility operations and into our interactions with visitors and guests. We are a socially and environmentally responsible organization and therefore we address what we can control through our operations, and we influence what we can’t control by considering the extended supply chain when we purchase from and contract with vendors. We consider natural and cultural heritage in our operations, as well as socio-economic equality and human rights. We incorporate quality, health and safety of our employees and guests, as well as risk and crisis management into our reporting and into how we operate as a business moving forward.

EVC is committed to incorporating sustainability into our business operations and plans to monitor our overall sustainability performance by reporting on our management of waste, water, energy, CO2 emissions, transportation and chemicals. We also commit to monitoring and reporting on our annual improvements, as well as sustainability goals and achievements at least every three years.

Our Green Team has a primary objective to focus on sustainability planning and continuous improvement on our sustainability performance overall. To effectively do this, the Green Team will meet annually to discuss goals and objectives moving forward into each year and will acquire re-certification every three years.

EVC plans to monitor our sustainability performance by assigning different Green Team roles to various responsibilities. Standard operating procedures for monitoring and improving each aspect of our sustainability have been described in detail below, with each of the six Environmental Management sections having its own specific set of procedures. These will ensure our greater consistency, efficiency and accountability among our Green Team and in our sustainability reporting

By 2026:

• Reduce the use of plastic trash bags: 1. When cleaning offices, by reusing plastic bags on trash bins when possible. 2. By using reusable bags to carry cleaning rugs instead of plastic bags.
• Decrease the use of disposable gloves by 1/2: by purchasing reusable and or washable gloves.
• Buying 70% of our cleaning products locally: by making purchases on local stores rather than online when product is available locally.
