Sustainability in Aspen

It’s what defines us – the rivers, the mountains, the trees, and the land. The outdoors are the reason Aspen is beloved by people around the world, and we strive to keep the pristine beauty intact for generations to come. 

Certified Sustainable Destination

Aspen is proud to be recognized internationally for its commitment to sustainability. Certified as a sustainable mountain resort destination through the prestigious Mountain IDEAL Standard, Aspen sets the gold standard for sustainable destinations worldwide. 

Aspen’s certification comes from Green Destinations, an internationally accredited certification body verified by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. This accolade is a result of years of dedicated leadership within the Aspen community, and drive to implement leading environmental and sustainability programs that address the needs of both residents and visitors.
