Oberoi Group on Monday said that its environment and social responsibility framework, “Elements by Oberoi” will be a key focus, as it enters a new phase of growth with a strong pipeline of hotel openings. At a time when conscious travel is shaping global conversations, this framework represents the Group’s evolved sustainability vision, it added.

By 2030, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts aims to recycle 100 per cent of wastewater and reduce freshwater consumption per occupied room by 20 per cent. The hospitality major also aims to source 50 per cent of electricity from renewable energy and transition transport fleets to fully electric vehicles. It will also focus on phasing out fossil fuel-based thermal systems in favour of electric alternatives across all new hotels and while replace equipment at our existing hotels during this timeline, an official statement added.

“Guided by life-sustaining elements—Earth, Water, and Air, this comprehensive framework articulates the Group’s environment-first actions and sets forth ambitious goals to further reduce ecological impact, drive operational innovation, and uplift communities,” the statement added.

Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman – The Oberoi Group, said, “As we grow and expand our footprint, sustainability is not just a value—it is a way of life that shapes how we build, serve, and lead. With Elements by Oberoi, we reaffirm our commitment to responsible growth, where every decision is made with care for our planet and our communities.”

Vikram Oberoi, Chief Executive Officer – The Oberoi Group, further added, “True luxury is defined by the care with which we serve our guest and equally demonstrate through our actions towards people, the community and our planet. With Elements by Oberoi, sustainability is seamlessly embedded into the guest journey and in how we engage with people, the communities around us and our precious environment. Our commitment is to creating experiences that are both meaningful and mindful.”

The group said it is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and embracing clean energy, smart systems, and air purification across its hotels. “From solar- and wind-powered operations to electric vehicle charging infrastructure and automated energy systems, our efforts ensure a healthier and more sustainable future for our guests and the planet, it added.

From advanced rainwater harvesting and zero liquid discharge systems to sustainable laundry operations are among the circular practices embedded in the company’s water management plans, it added
