Brighton based ski chalet holiday company Ski Beat, has signed up for a three-year alliance with environmental advocates, `Protect our Winters’ (POW).
The alliance aims to demonstrate a tangible commitment to enabling clients and employees to embrace practical steps to combat environmental change.
With immediate effect, Ski Beat is undertaking an Intensive Carbon Literacy Training Course among their UK and overseas staff. The training seeks to inform and identify specific ways in which the organisation and those who travel with Ski Beat can improve their carbon footprint in the mountains.
Ski Beat’s Sales & Marketing Director Laura Hazell said “We far too often hear about glaciers retreating, snow melting and low altitude resorts closing. We have a responsibility to our clients, to enable them to actively participate and embrace our climate change initiatives and to allow them, and future generations, to holiday in a more responsible way. The mountains provide all kinds of challenges, from the difficulties of sourcing certain meat and vegetables while minimising excessive mileage and fuel, to the practicalities of disposing of waste effectively and the need to keep chalets warm, without unnecessarily burning fossil fuels or expending electricity, particularly when skiers are out during the daytime.
Ski Beat’s participation as a corporate partner enhances the company’s existing positive climate change activities, from procedures aimed at reducing food waste and energy consumption, to initiatives to reduce food mileage, upgrade waste recycling and avoid single use plastics in chalets.
