Towards net zero emissions

RHG has set a bold target to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, supported by near-term, science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The group is working towards a 46% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, compared to 2019 levels, as part of its alignment with the UNFCCC’s Race to Zero campaign. This commitment underscores the group’s leadership in combating climate change within the hospitality sector.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy transition

Over the last decade, RHG has reduced its average energy and water footprints by 30%, reflecting its commitment to resource efficiency. The group is making significant strides in renewable energy adoption, with 67 hotels currently operating on 100% renewable electricity. Through its renewable energy sourcing strategy, RHG is further advancing its sustainability goals across hotel operations.

Sustainable building practices

RHG ensures that all new and renovated properties adhere to globally recognized sustainable building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and EDGE.
