Always progressing in a Forward Stance

Alterra was founded on the idea that progress happens when we accept difficult challenges and move forward together.

Forward Stance is our pledge to create lasting impact — building a better future for adventure through four key commitments: People, Planet, Community, and Responsibility.

Moving mountains isn’t easy, but that’s exactly what we intend to do.

We share a responsibility to take meaningful climate action. With 2030 goals in place, we aim to create the biggest impact while leaving the smallest footprint.

Reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 50%

Transition to 100% renewable energy for owned operations

Achieve carbon neutrality across all Alterra-managed destinations

Investing in Community

Committed to the places where we live, work, and play
