Sustainability

At the Rimrock Resort Hotel, we recognize and respect our responsibility to preserve our environment, locally and globally. We have developed several sustainability programs to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible—from energy-efficient lighting and water conservation systems to naturalized landscaping and an extensive recycling program. We encourage all of our staff and guests to help us preserve our environment by participating in our Green Program.

Green Key Eco-Rating Program

Since 2011, we have partnered with the Green Key Eco-Rating Program. Under this program, we conduct an extensive self-audit each year. The annual audit helps us determine the green program’s strengths and weaknesses and sets an action plan for the future. In 2023, we achieved a rating of 4 Green Keys from Green Key Global, meaning the Rimrock “has shown national industry leadership and commitment to protecting the environment through wide-ranging policies and practices.”

The following are some recent environmental initiatives we proudly offer our guests and staff.
