ESG management
Part of our corporate strategy

Explore

In the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group, sustainability is a priority topic and is embedded in the corporate strategy. Social and environmental concerns are integrated to the same extent as responsible corporate action.

Sustainability.Our focus

Sustainability is one of the areas of emphasis in our companies. In 2020, a position was created for ESG management, and along with it the basis for sustainability management within the entire corporate groups. In October 2022, the Andermatt Responsible Board was launched, a body within the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group and Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG that is responsible for strategically embedding ESG topics. In 2023 the Board has conducted a materiality analysis for the corporate groups in order to create a solid basis for ESG management.

Climate protection.Our commitment

Andermatt lies in the unique landscape of the Ursern Valley. We want to protect it. With our commitment in the areas of energy, outdoor, mobility, real estate and catering, the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group is committed to preserving nature and mitigate climate change. Because we want a future worth living for everyone. With   "Verein Wald und Klima Ursern" (Ursern Forest and Climate Association) as a partner, we are supporting the reforestation project in the Ursern Valley financially and with work in the forest. Together, we are actively contributing to a sustainable project in the region, to climate protection and to the promotion of biodiversity.
