New Delhi: Continuous efforts in the areas of water conservation and efficiency have put ITC Hotels in a league of its own. As an endorsement of ITC Hotels’ credo of ‘Responsible Luxury’, we have commissioned numerous initiatives across our hotels. Every drop of water is vital to the future, and recycling is a responsibility we must uphold to ensure a sustainable future.

As an inspiration to build and continue sustainable practices at ITC Maurya, New Delhi, with planet-positive initiatives and LEED® Zero Water certification, we are striving towards a greener future.

Transforming hospitality with sustainability

Amaan R Kidwai, Area Manager Luxury Hotels (North) & General Manager ITC Maurya, shares that ITC Mughal, Agra, is the first hotel globally to receive LEED® Zero Water certification, following sustainable processes which ensure that water requirements for its buildings are met by capturing rainwater and treating it for appropriate consumption.

ITC Rajputana, Jaipur, is the third hotel in the world to receive the LEED® Zero Water certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Further strengthening ITC Hotels’ commitment to sustainable practices, SunyaAqua, which processes and bottles international-quality drinking water across our hotels, including ITC Grand Bharat, Gurugram, significantly reduces the carbon footprint by eliminating the need for transportation and by replacing Single-Use Plastic (SUP) items with eco-friendly alternatives, thereby mitigating the use of Single-Use Plastic.

As LEED Platinum-certified buildings, these hotels also adhere to global standards in eco-friendly design and operations. By adopting a stage-by-stage approach for all our business processes, we have not only made sustainable living accessible for the guests, but also the norm.
