Radisson Hotel Group has released its 2025 Responsible Business Report, detailing its path toward Net Zero by 2050. The company has launched its first Verified Net Zero hotels in Manchester and Oslo, focusing on electrification and renewable energy to lower operational emissions. The group reports a 23% reduction in emissions intensity per square meter compared to 2019. With 78 hotels now running on 100% renewable electricity, the strategy emphasizes scalable decarbonization models for both new and existing hotel properties.

Opening Verified Net Zero hotels in Manchester and Oslo is a start, but the real challenge is the rest of the portfolio. Retrofitting old hotels is expensive and slow. I want to see the specific HVAC and insulation upgrades they used to hit those numbers.

The move to align with the EU VSME reporting framework is the interesting part here. It moves them toward double materiality, which makes the data harder to fudge than standard corporate sustainability blurbs.

They claim 78 hotels are on 100% renewable electricity. Is this through direct onsite generation or just buying RECs and offsets? There is a big difference in actual grid impact depending on the answer.

Basically, Radisson is trying to prove they can grow their portfolio by 20% while still cutting total Scope 1 and 2 emissions. It is a decent case study for the hospitality sector if the numbers hold up.
