In today’s world, the demand for eco-conscious business practices is transforming industries, including hospitality and event management. In his article on Sustainable Meetings and Events, Anirban Sarkar, General Manager at Radisson Blu Greater Noida, highlights innovative strategies that prioritize environmental responsibility. Sarkar discusses how incorporating sustainability into event planning—from waste reduction to energy-efficient spaces—can create impactful, memorable experiences that align with corporate social responsibility goals and leave a positive footprint. This shift towards sustainable events not only benefits the planet but also enhances brand reputation, guest satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
As environmental concerns take center stage globally, the demand for sustainable practices in all industries has grown exponentially. In the hospitality industry, this translates into a growing focus on reducing the carbon footprint of events and meetings. Radisson Blu Hotel Greater Noida is leading the charge by offering Carbon Compensated Meetings and Events, an innovative approach to sustainable hospitality that sets a new benchmark in eco-friendly event hosting.
At Radisson Blu Greater Noida, we are proud to offer Carbon Compensated Meetings in partnership with First Climate and Carbon Footprint Ltd., the world’s most reputable carbon offset organizations. This means that for every meeting or event held at our venue, the carbon emissions generated are automatically calculated and compensated through certified carbon offset projects, all at no additional cost to our clients. This initiative is part of a broader global commitment by the Radisson Hotel Group to reduce environmental impact, making us the only hotel brand to offer Carbon Compensated Meetings across all of our hotels worldwide.
But what exactly does Carbon Compensated mean? It’s the process of calculating the carbon emissions produced during an event and compensating for these emissions by supporting global carbon offset projects. These projects focus on environmental sustainability and social equity, including renewable energy development, forest conservation, and clean water access. All the projects supported by First Climate and Carbon Footprint Ltd. are certified under internationally recognized standards, such as the Gold Standard and Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), ensuring that the offsets have tangible, measurable impacts.
This innovative carbon compensation process is effortless for both the event organizers and attendees. From large-scale corporate conferences to Weddings and intimate social gatherings, every event at Radisson Blu Greater Noida leaves a minimal environmental footprint, helping organizations achieve their sustainability goals with ease. Companies that are increasingly focused on minimizing their carbon impact can now align their corporate meetings and events with their environmental objectives, ensuring that they not only host impactful events but also contribute positively to global sustainability efforts.
One standout feature of this initiative is the certificate of commitment that is awarded to clients after hosting a Carbon Compensated event. This certificate, printed on recycled paper or issued as an E-certificate, serves as a symbol of the company’s dedication to sustainability. Furthermore, we are actively seeking feedback from our clients and partners to explore options of including the company’s name on the certificate, adding a personal touch that acknowledges their commitment to making a difference.
Radisson Blu Greater Noida’s Carbon Compensated Meetings and Events not only reduce emissions but also have a positive social impact, supporting projects that contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. By automatically offsetting the carbon footprint of all meetings and events at no cost to the client, we are offering a seamless, sustainable event hosting experience.
As more companies around the world strive to leave a smaller environmental footprint, Radisson Blu Greater Noida stands out as a model of sustainable hospitality. This initiative is a key part of Global Radisson Meetings & Events and reflects our ongoing commitment to a greener future.
