ENVIRONMENT

COMMITMENT TO ZERO, ZERO FOOTPRINT

In July 2017, we announced our Commitment to Zero – a bold pledge to reach a zero net operating footprint by 2030. We have been busy over the past year and are proud to announce the release of our first annual EpicPromise Progress Report, detailing the steps we have taken and what we plan to do to reach our emissions, waste, and forest and habitat goals. Click Here to Read the Report.

We are incredibly proud to announce a long-term wind energy contract to purchase the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power 100 percent of our estimated FY 2019 North American operations by 2020. Additionally, we have announced Eco-Products as our Official Zero Waste Partner; this partnership will be instrumental as we work to achieve zero waste to landfill and eliminate all single-use, guest-facing, conventional plastic products.
