The Andermatt Swiss Alps Group and Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG are consistently driving forward the sustainable development of the Andermatt destination. The Andermatt Responsible 2025 Progress Report shows that sustainability is an integral part of the companies’ strategies and is being implemented through clearly defined goals, measures and key performance indicators. At the same time, investments in modernising the infrastructure and the range of offerings underline the commitment to further developing Andermatt as a responsible year-round destination.

“We are demonstrating that economic success and responsible development are not mutually exclusive. Sustainability is a key driver of our continued development,” says Raphael Krucker, CEO of the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group.

“For us, sustainability means continuously developing our operations and using resources as efficiently as possible, without compromising on quality or the experience for our guests,” adds Mike Goar, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG and Senior Advisor for the Mountain Division at Vail Resorts.

The Andermatt Responsible 2025 Progress Report provides a transparent insight into the developments and progress made in our sustainability efforts over the past year. It shows which measures have been implemented, where targets have been met and in which areas further action is still required.

Investments shape emissions trends
Greenhouse gas emissions stood at 47,883 tCO₂e in 2025[1] , slightly higher than the previous year. Construction and investment activities remain the main drivers. At the same time, emissions from day-to-day operations remain at a low level. This is the result of long-term investments in energy-efficient infrastructure and renewable energy.

Progress on resources and operations
The first effects are becoming apparent in terms of resource consumption: water consumption was reduced by 4.9 per cent and the volume of waste was cut. Energy requirements rose moderately, particularly due to infrastructure expansion and higher capacity utilisation.

Growth and demand confirm positive trend
The positive trend in overnight stays reported in the report, as well as rising demand for the ski lifts, underline the destination’s appeal. They boost value creation and confirm the chosen course of further developing the offering in a targeted manner, for example with the opening of the new sports centre.

Sustainability as a strategic responsibility
“Andermatt Responsible is our initiative for sustainable tourism based on environmental, social, governance and economic criteria in the Andermatt region. We report transparently on our strategy, our progress and also our challenges. This transparency is crucial for effectively managing our sustainability initiatives and building trust among our guests, employees, partners and investors,” explains Barbara Heller, independent Chair of the Andermatt Responsible Board.

In 2025, governance was further strengthened and sustainability was embedded even more firmly in operations. In the long term, the two companies are pursuing the goal of achieving net-zero emissions in their operations[2] by 2040.

The report highlights not only progress but also long-term objectives and related challenges. Sustainable development, as an essential component of long-term value creation is an ongoing process that can only succeed in collaboration with employees, partners and guests.
 
 
Andermatt Responsible
The Andermatt Responsible initiative stands for climate-friendly tourism and the sustainable development of the Andermatt region as a place to live. Its aim is to enable tourism operations that conserve resources. The Andermatt Responsible 2025 Progress Report provides an overview of the sustainability strategies and initiatives of the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group and Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG, the key environmental indicators, the status of target achievement, the companies’ contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the current ESG projects.


[1] Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) is a metric used to compare different greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential (GWP). To do this, a gas’s emissions are multiplied by its GWP value. Methane, for example, has a factor of 25, whilst nitrous oxide has a factor of 298. This means that one tonne of methane has the same effect as 25 tonnes _{of CO₂}.
