JHMR has long respected the natural beauty and ecological significance of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in which we are situated. In April 2006, JHMR achieved ISO 14001 certification following our Silver Eagle Award for Environmental Excellence - Visual Impact in 2005 and for Energy Conservation in 2003.
JHMR will grow in harmony while continually improving and tracking set objectives through our ISO Certified environmental management system (EMS).
JHMR Environmental Goals by 2011:
(a) Energy Conservation - Reduce by 5% or more:
(1) Electricity, fuel and propane use
(2) Water consumption
(3) Vehicle use within, and to/from the Resort
(4) Annual waste production, both solid and hazardous waste
(5) Fuel/petrochemical spills
(6) Total CO2 emissions

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is third party ISO certified as a "green" company, the second of only two ski resorts in the US to achieve this recognition. ISO 14001 certification is the most widely known and respected environmental stamp of approval, which demonstrates responsible management of our environmental impacts.
In 2005 JHMR averted almost 15% of our total carbon emissions through wind power, biodiesel, carpooling/bus travel and recycling programs, all instituted or significantly strengthened over the previous four years.
When you visit Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, you’re part of a broader movement to protect the environment. If you would like to offset a portion of your global warming emissions by purchasing clean, renewable energy visit the EPA Green Power Locator.
