The hotel understands the importance of concern for the environment and is hence committed to sustainability, making it a more attractive choice for travelers alike. “At Radisson Blu
Plaza, we prioritize green practices during conferences, symposiums, and shows,” says Joshi. “To minimize food waste, we serve more live counters and working lunch buffet concepts to corporates during conferences. We conserve water by using small water bottles and promote
linen-free corporate events to save high water consumption during laundry. Our waste management initiatives and energy-efficient practices further contribute to sustainability.”
