Snozone ESG

Sport for all

A focus on inclusivity for children and adults with physical disabilities and mental impairments is also reflective in Snozone’s charity partner, ‘Sense’, a charity for deaf/blind adults and children. This is a partnership that was established in 2014 and has delivered great benefits to Sense, as well as equipping members of the Snozone team with sign language skills.

Snozone has been a champion in addressing gender inequality in snow sports and was the first UK operator to support the Sport England ‘This Girl Can’ campaign, which aims to break down the barriers that prevent women and girls participating in sport. Snozone has taken a number of steps over the years to enable greater social mobility, focusing participation from broader demographic groups outside the more ‘traditional’ snow sports demography.
