Overview
- Radisson shifted its net zero effort from a two-hotel pilot to a global program at IHIF 2026 with a goal of 100 certified properties by 2030.
- The rollout starts in 2026 in Norway, then expands to Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, with further growth planned in Germany, Austria, and Spain’s Canary Islands.
- Each hotel will be independently checked by TÜV Rheinland against the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels, which Radisson says aligns with Science Based Targets.
- The framework eliminates Scope 1 and 2 emissions through electrification, 100% renewable energy, and renewable district heating or cooling, while cutting operational Scope 3 sources across food, waste, laundry, amenities, and business travel.
- Pilot hotels in Manchester and Oslo report strong carbon cuts, guest awareness above 70%, and about 20% of bookings linked to the Net Zero status.
