As The Oberoi Group enters a new phase of growth, it reaffirms its commitment to building a future anchored in sustainability. Elements by Oberoi, the Group’s holistic environmental and social responsibility framework, reflects a philosophy that has quietly shaped its ethos for decades and now takes centre stage as the company scales new heights.
A legacy of thoughtful hospitality
For over 90 years, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts has defined exceptional hospitality, guided by enduring values and thoughtful service. In an age where conscious travel shapes global conversations, Elements by Oberoi represents the Group’s evolved sustainability vision. It is deeply embedded in the Group’s operations and continuously expanding to meet the needs of the planet, people, and future generations.
A vision shaped by leadership
Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman – The Oberoi Group, said: “We have always believed that excellence must be enduring. 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.”
EARTH: Oberoi hotels integrate with nature through sustainable landscaping, organic farming, eco-friendly amenities, and waste reduction, creating a circular model rooted in land respect.
WATER: With rainwater harvesting, zero liquid discharge, and efficient operations, they prioritise conservation and promote responsible water use beyond hotel boundaries.
AIR: Clean energy, EV infrastructure, and smart systems help minimise their carbon footprint and ensure a healthier environment for all.
Community impact and 2030 goals
Through structured initiatives, the Group invests in inclusive growth, skill-building, and community partnerships. By embedding local art and craft into hotel design, supporting surrounding communities, and nurturing talent through purposeful collaborations, these initiatives foster meaningful connections between people, place, and purpose.
Looking ahead to 2030
As we look to the future, we remain committed to ambitious goals that have a lasting impact. By 2030, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts aims to:
- Recycle 100% of waste water and reduce fresh water consumption per occupied room by 20%
- Source 50% of electricity from renewable energy
- Transition transport fleets to fully electric vehicles
- Phase out fossil fuel-based thermal systems in favour of electric alternatives across all new hotels and while replacing equipment at existing hotels
