EpicPromise Day – Hotham will commence an annual EpicPromise Day (dates TBC), where employees are encouraged to volunteer a work day to come together around a community project benefitting local non-profit organisations in the areas of youth and the environment.
EpicPromise Foundation – Hotham Employees are eligible to apply to EpicPromise Foundation for emergency financial assistance in their times of need.
Environment – Operations at Hotham rely on cold winters, and with the changing climate it is increasingly more important for Vail Resorts to reduce its energy consumption and minimise its carbon footprint. This is achieved through improvements to heating, lighting, and energy management systems. Hotham will continue to drive improvements in its environmental performance through our Environmental Management System.
This commitment relies on our individual and collective participation to ensure we are igniting a passion for the great outdoors and strong communities for generations to come. In creating EpicPromise, we hope to inspire our employees, our guests and our communities to take action with us.
