Bukovel has published a sustainable development report for 2025 year, which contains environmental indicators and initiatives being implemented at the resort. This was announced by the resort's shareholder Zakhar Palytsia.

According to report, during the year the company planted more than 6 thousand plants, conducted international certification of 12 hotels under the Green Key system, introduced comprehensive monitoring of water and air quality, and continued to develop the field of sorting and safe disposal of waste.

"Bukovel" is forming a new standard of tourism in Ukraine — responsible, sustainable and environmentally conscious. The presented report is not only a summary of the year, but also a roadmap for the future development of the resort. And an example for the entire industry – how the largest resort in Eastern Europe integrates sustainable development into all operational processes of the company," – said Zakhar Palytsia.

The report also covers social initiatives — inclusivity, veteran programs, cultural projects, as well as international cooperation and the first sociological study of a tourist destination with the support of the Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University and the Dnipro Polytechnic University.

The resort analyzes key indicators: resource consumption, water use, and waste management, which allowed it to identify areas of impact and form goals to reduce environmental impact. Special attention was paid to water quality monitoring as one of the priorities for a safe and comfortable stay for guests," –
