Sustainability at Chalet Hotels

At Chalet, sustainability is part of the vision statement. It is entrenched in the business philosophy and integrated into the plans, right from the design initiation stage of projects and through their life-cycle. It is a journey, which sees newer benchmarks being set and milestones being achieved.

Each sustainability initiative is methodically reviewed from a social, ecological and economic perspective to measure the impact.

Sustainability is woven into the Company’s ethos and is a parallel consideration of human well-being, healthy environments and a more fruitful life overall. Collaborations with guests, partners, colleagues and communities towards sustainable operations, are considered paramount as they cater to the interdependencies among economic, social and natural forces.

As a part of sustainability initiatives, four properties of the portfolio are already USGB Gold LEED-certified.

  • JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar
  • Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield
  • Commercial Tower Sahar Mumbai
  • Commercial Tower Whitefield Bengaluru
