Congratulations Ski Butlers – 2022 Green Business Awards: Global Impact
February 2, 2023
Ski Butlers started out of a garage in Park City in 2004. Now, they operate at fifty resorts in twenty-nine locations and four countries. Ski Butlers provides rental ski gear for visitors, removing the need to transport equipment or purchase new ones. In addition to a business model that inherently promotes reuse and a sharing economy, Ski Butlers has made it a priority to shift climate to the forefront of business decisions. Their multipronged approach has evolved over time, but the priority has been to focus on climate solutions in the communities they impact.
Accomplishments:
- Collaborated with Protect Our Winters (POW) and switched banks to stop financing fossil fuels.
- CEO Bryn Carey read Deep by Porter Fox, attended Climate Reality Training, and presented to Park City Municipal to lay the groundwork for the town to commit to 100% clean energy.
- Installed solar panels on Ski Butlers headquarters.
- Worked with Park City to establish North America’s most ambitious climate goals.
- lobbied with U.S. senators in D.C. for better climate policy.
- Committed to 100% clean energy by 2030
- Invested in reducing its business carbon footprint by purchasing electric delivery vans.
- Founded Mountain Towns to engage other mountain communities in climate action.
- Announced that all company assets are moved from JPMorgan Chase to KeyBank. Their decision to support banks that finance clean energy was an easy choice, but tough to implement.
