This World Environment Day, ITC Maratha, Mumbai, reaffirms its commitment to sustainable luxury by receiving the prestigious LEED Zero Water Certification, a milestone that cements its place among the world’s most environmentally conscious hospitality destinations.

Part of ITC Hotels, one of the largest and greenest hotel chains globally, ITC Maratha was also awarded the LEED Zero Carbon Certification by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), highlighting its long-standing commitment to responsible operations and sustainable innovation.

Sustainability at ITC Maratha has gone beyond concept to become a core value over the past decade. Guests experience a blend of indulgence and responsibility through features like Green Banquets, carbon-neutral meetings, and Sunya Aqua, a zero-mile water initiative that purifies and bottles water on-site.

ITC Maratha sources organic and local ingredients, reducing food miles and supporting farmers via its Local Love program. An on-site biogas plant handles over 100,000 kg of organic waste annually, generating clean energy and reducing landfill burden.

The hotel now operates with over 80% of its energy sourced from renewables, including wind farms, and implements 100% rainwater harvesting. Its efficient water systems allow it to use 47% less water than the USGBC benchmark, while reducing water wastage by 70% through advanced filtration technology.

ITC Maratha has also made a complete shift away from single-use plastics, offering bamboo toothbrushes, wooden cutlery, and other eco-conscious alternatives. The hotel provides 30% more fresh air than global indoor standards, and actively enhances biodiversity with native plants that help cool surrounding urban zones.

This World Environment Day, ITC Maratha exemplifies how green practices and luxurious hospitality can coexist, making sustainability not just a goal, but a way of life.
