RED goes green: Radisson RED Oslo debuts as a verified Net Zero hotel

Guests will experience the property’s Verified Net Zero status through initiatives like:

- 100% renewable energy sources, meaning that the hotel does not depend on using environmentally damaging fossil fuels for heating, cooling, hot water, and cooking. The hotel is powered by a combination of renewable electricity and heating provided by the city. Oslo is one of the few cities in Europe to use fully renewable energy for its district heating by using renewable heat generated from multiple sources such as city waste treatment, or data centers.

- Low-carbon menus curated with Swedish partner Klimato, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients while reducing recipe carbon footprints up to 40%, without compromising on taste.

- Zero-waste initiatives such as food waste tracking software (eSmiley), a partnership with Too Good To Go to make surplus food available on a community app and widespread recycling infrastructure including the use of glass bottles and Nespresso pod recycling

- 100% bulk bathroom amenities and recycling of the packaging with Clean the World

- Plastic free dry amenities and a program to minimize wastage of accessory amenities

- Glass water bottles in guest and conference rooms, as opposed to PET plastic

- Recycling bins in all guestrooms and main public areas including the lobby and conference rooms

- Digital tools that reduce paper use, including the Stay E-concierge app

- Guest facing initiatives like Dripdrop, which offers hotel umbrellas for reuse, and with a tree is planted every time a guest borrows an umbrella.
