Sustainability

“This is a placeholder quote from the director of sustainability, placeholder, placeholder, placeholder.”

– Bret Campbell, Director of Sustainability

At Nemacolin, we consider ourselves stewards of our beautiful home here in the Laurel Highlands.

We are committed to launching sustainability initiatives to minimize our environmental impact and ensure a green, glorious future in these mountains and beyond.

Energy Efficiency

Our energy conservation efforts reduce the resort's carbon footprint and support our local green economy.

  • By Summer 2023, a 138.8kW Photovoltaic Solar Array will be installed on the roof of the Chateau to supply power to the hotel.

    The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

    Quote A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

    HOW TO CUSTOMIZE FORMATTING FOR EACH RICH TEXT

    Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the “When inside of” nested selector system.

  • Our entire golf cart fleet has been converted to electric vehicles with the most efficient battery technology on the market.

  • Zero-emission bicycles and electric bicycles are available to all guests for complimentary use.

  • 100% of used oil is collected, filtered and processed into biofuel to heat the Mystic Garden Greenhouse.

  • All lights across the property are being converted to use LED bulbs or a high-efficiency equivalent.

  • All timber harvested on the property is used for firewood at fireplaces across the resort.

Resource Conservation

At Nemacolin, nothing is wasted. We are committed to recycling and repurposing resources wherever possible.

  • 40% of all water used at Nemacolin is sourced from wells on the property. 100% of water is treated on the property.

  • Nemacolin-branded PATH bottles are being introduced at the resort, along with refilling stations. This will eliminate the need for single-use water bottles.

  • All partially-used liquid soap and bar soaps are donated to the Clean the World Organization, where they are reformed into new soap for impoverished areas. This is a test

  • All depreciated non-salvageable electronics are properly recycled so their rare elements can be salvaged instead of winding up in a landfill. This protects customer data as well as vulnerable ecosystems.

  • All depreciated salvageable items are upcycled through employee sales or donated to charitable organizations. Proceeds from items sold through employee sales go to the Employee Assistance Fund for sudden hardships endured by associates.

Culinary Initiatives

Nemacolin's award-winning restaurants celebrate farm-to-table practices that improve the flavor, healthfulness, and sustainability of our menus.

  • Our Project Nemaculture initiative uses hydroponic techniques to grow produce and herbs in our own gardens. These organic ingredients are used in dining locations across the resort, as well as in select spa treatments.

  • Our dining locations also source local produce from organic farms in the area, minimizing the environmental impact of transportation and supporting the community.

  • We are removing single-use plastics and implementing sustainable alternatives, including 100% biodegradable to-go containers and compostable silverware at PJ’s Ice Cream Parlor as well as plant-based straws and recycled paper napkins at Pearl’s Café.
