Radisson advances sustainability goals with 2025 Responsible Business Report

Radisson outlines net zero progress and sustainability actions

Radisson Hotel Group has released its 2025 Responsible Business Report, outlining progress across its operations as it works towards Net Zero by 2050.

The report reflects how sustainability continues to shape the group’s strategy, with a focus on supporting employees, engaging with communities, and reducing environmental impact. In a changing operating environment influenced by evolving guest expectations, climate considerations and regulatory requirements, the company is aligning its long-term plans with measurable sustainability targets.

A key development in 2025 is the introduction of Verified Net Zero hotels, providing a framework for reducing emissions across both existing and new properties. The group is also implementing a structured five-year plan centred on energy efficiency, electrification, renewable energy and responsible resource use.

The report highlights progress across three pillars: Think People, Think Community and Think Planet.

Under Think People, the group continues to focus on workforce development, wellbeing and career progression across its global team. It reports an 84% employee engagement score and ongoing training investment through Radisson Academy, alongside initiatives such as the Radisson People Foundation, which supports employees during challenging periods.

Through Think Community, the group has continued its work with partners such as Just a Drop, supporting access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. In 2025, this included financial contributions, volunteer hours and supplier engagement to strengthen responsible sourcing practices.

Under Think Planet, Radisson Hotel Group continues to reduce emissions and increase the use of renewable energy. The report notes a reduction in emissions intensity compared to its 2019 baseline and an increase in the number of hotels operating on renewable electricity. The first Verified Net Zero hotels have opened in Manchester and Oslo, demonstrating how operational properties can reduce emissions while maintaining service standards.

The 2025 report is also the group’s first to be aligned with the European Union’s Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs, using a double materiality approach to assess environmental, social, and governance impacts.
