Giving back
Fairmont Banff Springs minimises food waste by using every part of each ingredient, from turning meat trim into stock to re-using bread. In addition, the team tracks waste with the Orbisk system to help reduce overall volume.
Furthermore, low-flow plumbing, a liquid pool cover and redesigned golf course landscaping conserve millions of gallons of glacier-fed water each year. LED lighting also helps cut electricity use across the property.
Leftover toiletries are then donated to Clean the World, supporting vulnerable communities, while a portion of pet cleaning fees is given to the local Bow Valley SPCA.
Moreover, electric-vehicle charging stations and shuttle options encourage greener travel, allowing guests to reduce their carbon footprint as they explore the Rockies.
