India’s largest hospitality company Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has reaffirmed its commitment to cut down the usage of single-use plastic across its hotels.
This reaffirmation of the commitment comes in the wake of World Environment Day 2023.
IHCL executive human resources vice-president Gaurav Pokhariyal said: “In line with the vision of IHCL’s ESG-plus framework of Paathya, we are committed to phasing out single-use plastic from all our hotels.
“From the elimination of plastic straws, replacing plastic-wrapped dry amenities with eco-friendly substitutes, the introduction of bottling plants to initiating zero-single use plastic hotels in the country, IHCL has stayed the course on beating plastic pollution.”
Claimed to introduce the country’s first-ever “zero single-use plastic hotel” – the Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, Andamans, IHCL stated that it has consistently taken steps to address plastic pollution and prioritise environmental sustainability.
