Copper recognizes that sustaining our environment is critical to the future success of our business and to future generations. As such, Copper strives to be a steward of our mountain and village environments. One of our environmental initiatives is the purchase of renewable energy certificates (also known as RECs or green tags) to reduce the environmental impact of our electricity usage. Copper’s purchase of 19,320 megawatt-hours of RECs ensures the amount of electricity we use for lift operations, snowmaking and other Copper facilities (including all Copper-owned buildings) will be matched on the electrical grid by clean, wind power.
