Radisson Blu, Bengaluru, Outer Ring Road (ORR) has earned the esteemed LEED V4.1 Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council for its commitment to sustainability in operations and maintenance, making it a trailblazer in eco-friendly hospitality in India. This certification highlights the hotel’s extensive environmental initiatives aimed at minimizing its carbon footprint.
Fully powered by green energy from its own solar plant, the hotel operates as a net-zero energy building. Its commitment to reducing carbon emissions extends to its electric vehicle (EV) fleet for guest transportation, with EVs charged on-site through solar power. Further embracing sustainability, the hotel has established an on-site biogas plant that converts organic waste into biogas, supplying its staff canteen and producing organic fertilizer for the property’s gardens, thus achieving a zero-waste organic cycle.
To reduce plastic use, Radisson Blu Bengaluru ORR has implemented an in-house water bottling system, supplying reusable glass bottles across guest rooms, dining venues, and event spaces—eliminating over a tonne of plastic waste annually. Water conservation is further enhanced by a comprehensive rainwater capture and filtration system, which redirects rainwater for domestic use. The hotel’s laundry water undergoes a rigorous treatment and recycling process, including Effluent Treatment and Reverse Osmosis, ensuring 100% water circularity.
Austin Roach, Chairman of Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, remarked, “Sustainability is a way of life here. For over a decade, our commitment to environmental stewardship has remained steadfast. This LEED Platinum certification is both an honor and a motivation to continue creating positive change.”
Inge Huijbrechts, Chief Sustainability and Security Officer of Radisson Hotel Group, acknowledged the hotel’s achievement, stating, “Attaining the LEED V4.1 Platinum certification reflects our commitment to net-zero goals and showcases that sustainability benefits both the planet and business. Radisson Blu Bengaluru ORR sets a high standard for sustainable practices in hospitality, showing that existing hotels can indeed achieve environmental excellence.”
This certification marks a key milestone for Radisson Hotel Group as it continues to set sustainability benchmarks globally, further reinforcing its dedication to eco-conscious hospitality.
