In honour of World Environment Day, Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Spa, Udaipur, has rolled out a month-long tree plantation drive, taking its sustainability efforts a step beyond symbolic gestures. The initiative is aimed at reinforcing the resort’s ongoing commitment to ecological responsibility and climate resilience.

The campaign began in early June and received a significant boost with the visit of Shri Bhupender Yadav, Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and Shri Sanjay Sharma, Minister of State for Forest Department, Environment and Climate Change, Government of India. Their participation in the plantation drive highlights the importance of collaborative action between public leadership and the hospitality sector in fostering a greener future.

The project is being led by Mr. Mahesh Singh Jasrotia, Vice President – Operations at Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Spa, Udaipur. Speaking about the initiative, he said,

“At Radisson Blu Udaipur, we believe true hospitality is about enriching lives—not just of our guests, but of our environment too. Our month-long plantation drive is an extension of our continued commitment to environmental responsibility."

The resort's eco-conscious practices include solar energy sourcing in partnership with a plant near Bikaner, sensor-based LED lighting, reflective exterior paint, and an atrium lobby designed for natural light optimization. These efforts reflect a broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) vision in line with Radisson Hotel Group’s global sustainability goals.

The plantation drive focuses on planting native trees and shrubs across the resort and surrounding community spaces. Local partners, staff volunteers, and guests are actively involved, making this a true community effort aimed at restoring biodiversity and promoting climate action.

In addition to energy initiatives, Radisson Blu Udaipur has also implemented rainwater harvesting, recycling, and waste management systems, while promoting inclusive employment and local upskilling as part of its long-term growth model.
