Tuesday, August 20, 2024 At the core of Dolomite Mountains is a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and a determination to leave the world in a better state for future generations. With an ambitious goal to become a climate-positive company by 2030, Dolomite Mountains has embarked on an impactful journey through the “Travel for Future” initiative. This project is dedicated to capturing more CO2 than the company emits, progressively minimizing its environmental impact, and nurturing forests to ensure a sustainable future.
This approach goes beyond mere numbers; it’s about demonstrating a new, responsible way of doing business to customers and partners. Recognizing the complexities of environmental responsibility, Dolomite Mountains has adopted the MARC method, guided by partners Etifor and Wow Nature, to systematically eliminate unsustainable practices and processes. The journey began in 2021 when Dolomite Mountains took the first step by measuring and neutralizing its climate impact.
The company supported projects aimed at protecting existing forests in Italy and other regions, successfully offsetting its direct emissions and conserving forests in areas like Alta Badia, Adum, and Val di Fiemme. These efforts resulted in the safeguarding of 112 tons of CO2, a critical measure following the devastation caused by storm Vaia and the subsequent bark beetle infestation. By 2023, Dolomite Mountains had not only offset 110% of the direct impact of its activities but also addressed a portion of the indirect impacts of air travel by guests.
Through its support of the Amazonbai project in the Bailique Archipelago in Brazil, the company offset 2,219 tons of CO2. This initiative, driven by the Cooperativa dos Produtores Agroextrativistas do Bailique e Beira and Indigenous communities, is crucial in protecting the Amazon rainforest from illegal logging and other threats. The offsets are verified and certified, ensuring that Dolomite Mountains’ efforts have a genuine and positive impact.
Every action, project, and measure is meticulously documented to maintain the highest standards of transparency and accountability. The path to becoming climate-positive is an ongoing journey, with each milestone reinforcing the belief that a sustainable, responsible future is not only possible but within reach. Dolomite Mountains is committed to leaving a legacy of environmental stewardship, inspiring others to join the Travel for Future journey and make a lasting impact on the planet.
