The Road to Net-zero in the Indian Hotel Industry

With numerous commitments from both large and small businesses, India's goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2070 is gaining traction. Reliance Industries, Aditya Birla Group, JSW Group, and Mahindra & Mahindra are just a few of the Indian businesses that have set decarbonization targets to become carbon neutral by 2050 or sooner. By implementing eco-friendly practices, hotel companies in India are also stepping up and doing their part to lessen their impact on the environment. For instance, to reduce their carbon footprint, the majority of hotel operators have reduced and eliminated single-use plastic and switched to more environmentally friendly options like refillable shampoo/soap dispensers, as well as opting out of daily linen and towel changes. Some are also using renewable energy, smart energy systems, reusable water, and zero-waste policies to make their operations more sustainable while also saving money.
