Radisson Hotel Group launches first two Verified Net Zero hotels
BRUSSELS, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Radisson Hotel Group is proud to announce its first two hotels to achieve Verified Net Zero status, achieving 2040 requirements of the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels today. The properties in Oslo and Manchester are taking steps to eliminate Scope 1 & 2 emissions, significantly reduce Scope 3 emissions, aligned with the GHG protocol, and remove the remaining footprint with Nature Based Solutions. The achievement is unique, as the alignment with the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels is verified by a third party, TÜV Rheinland. With the launch of two Verified Net Zero Hotels, Radisson Hotel Group is setting the gold standard for sustainable hospitality. The existing Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre is renovated to Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, completing its transition on 19 th May 2025. The current Park Inn by Radisson Oslo City Centre will be renovated to Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, and will be in operation as of the beginning of July 2025. Net Zero actions in carbon footprint Scopes 1, 2 and 3 The Verified Net Zero program is comprehensive and includes the carbon footprint from energy use (Scopes 1 & 2 as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol or GHG) as well as the hotel's operational and supply chain footprint (Scope 3). Actions include the use of 100% renewable energy, achieved through electrification of hotels and/or the purchase of 100% renewable energy for all hotel functions from heating, cooling, hot water to cooking and spa & pool facilities. Next to overhauling operations to minimize waste, Radisson Hotel Group has re-evaluated its supply chains with a focus on Food & Beverage, and other sources of emissions such as hotel related transportation to minimize emissions. All remaining emissions are compensated using Nature Based carbon credits from carbon removal in partnership with Agreena, the largest soil carbon program in Europe, supporting over 2,300 farmers to regenerate more than 4.5 million hectares of European farmland. "Radisson Hotel Group aims to become Net Zero by 2050. While the move is easier in new build properties, the reality is that 80% of the buildings that need to become Net Zero by 2050 are already built. We believe it is critical to move as fast as possible with these existing buildings. Today, we are demonstrating that Net Zero conversion hotels are possible. In a conversion approach, the Manchester and Oslo hotels prove that non-sustainable hotels can become high performing asset classes with a positive impact on the planet. This approach needs to be serious and verified. And we are doing so with TÜV Rheinland. These Verified Net Zero hotels bring the future forward and offer guests the pinnacle of sustainable stays." commented Federico J. González, Executive Vice Chairman at Radisson Hotel Group. How guests will experience Verified Net Zero during their stay The opportunity to stay at a Verified Net Zero property allows guests to become part of a forward-thinking movement that combines comfort and innovation with sustainability. Verified Net Zero properties do this through three key features: 100% renewable energy, low-carbon menus, and by being a minimal waste hotel. Radisson Hotel Group's Verified Net Zero properties give guests the unique opportunity to stay in a hotel knowing their stay has a net zero carbon footprint. Using 100% renewable energy sources means that Verified Net Zero hotels do not depend on using environmentally damaging fossil fuels for heating, cooling, hot water, and cooking. Radisson Hotel Group partnered with Klimato – a specialized partner from Sweden – to develop low-carbon menus by analyzing the entire food offering for in-room dining menus, M&E menus and the breakfast buffet, curating recipes to lower their overall carbon footprint. Guests are informed by clear labels, ranking recipes' carbon footprints from A (best) to E (worst). Menus focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients while reducing recipe carbon footprints up to 40%, without compromising on taste. New measures are in place to minimize waste based on the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle principles. Guests can rest assured a maximum of the waste will be avoided or recycled, and none of the waste goes to landfill. To enhance recycling and minimize waste, Verified Net Zero hotels: Regarding the announcement, Inge Huijbrechts, Chief Sustainability & Security Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, said, "With the opening of our first two Verified Net Zero hotels, Radisson Hotel Group demonstrates its commitment to Net Zero 2050, and to showcasing truly sustainable hospitality. For the first time, we focus on reducing emissions from energy, operations and the supply chain. As we face the evolving challenge of climate change, Radisson Hotel Group is taking an essential step in reshaping the future of hospitality, one Verified Net Zero hotel at a time."

Where camels roam and rockets launch: Inside Oman's remote coastal desert spaceport
This week, I found myself standing at what could soon be the Middle East's new gateway to space. Etlaq spaceport in Duqm – a quiet coastal town about five hours from the Omani capital of Muscat – is still very much under construction. But the ambition behind it is crystal clear: Oman is building a commercial launch site that could one day rival Cape Canaveral in Florida or Baikonur in Kazakhstan, with private companies sending rockets into orbit right on the edge of the Arabian Sea. As a space journalist, I've covered numerous launches from Baikonur and Florida, including milestone missions such as the UAE's two astronauts blasting off. But standing in Duqm, I felt something different – the beginning of a new chapter, where the region is not only participating in space flight but building the infrastructure to lead it. Getting here is not your typical work trip. I chose to drive, following a narrow road flanked by desert and mountains, with camels lazily crossing the path and the Arabian Sea hidden just beyond the ridges. But there are other ways to reach the spaceport - visitors can fly into Muscat, then take a short connecting flight to Duqm. From there, it's about a 90-minute drive. While Etlaq lies in a remote stretch of coastline, there are good accommodation options not too far away. About two hours from the spaceport, you'll find resorts such as the Crowne Plaza and Park Inn by Radisson, along with several locally branded hotels. In December, Etlaq hosted its first test flight - a 6.5-metre rocket that launched successfully from its pad in Duqm. That moment set the stage for five more launches planned this year, giving start-ups a chance to test their rockets, while Omani engineers sharpen their skills before the spaceport begins full commercial services, scheduled for the end of 2027. A second launch, a small one-metre rocket hop test, was scheduled to take place during my visit as part of a three-day public event. But strong winds meant it had to be postponed, a reminder that space launches are never guaranteed. Weather or last-minute technical issues can easily cause delays, a reality I've witnessed first-hand. The launch of Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, for example, was once called off minutes before lift-off at Florida's Kennedy Space Centre, only for the next attempt to be successful. The UAE has already paved the way for the region's space ambitions, launching astronauts to the International Space Station and building advanced satellites and interplanetary missions. Oman is now taking its own bold step and with Etlaq, it's doing something few others in the region have: offering start-ups a real launch pad for test flights. That's a big deal. In countries like the US, the Federal Aviation Administration has strict licensing rules and long approval processes that can delay take off for months. But here in Oman, with fewer regulatory bottlenecks, regional and international start-ups now have a rare chance to test their systems faster, giving them a head start in the global market. But what brought me here wasn't just the prospect of a rocket launch - it was also the people. Specifically, the schoolchildren and families who took part in Oman's first spaceport fanzone, called Etlaq FX. Spread across four large tents only 3km from the launch pad, the event was designed to bring the public closer to space - something the US and Russia have long embraced but which has never really happened in the Arab world. Pupils from across Duqm participated in activities such as collecting stamps in their own 'space passports' and writing about or drawing their dreams to be stored in a time capsule. One tent was run by Omani Archives and another had vendors from nearby villages, offering hands-on experiences and games. It felt like a space fair but with local flavour. There was no flashy tech or glossy corporate displays. Instead, there were handwritten signs, excited schoolteachers and community members who genuinely wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves. 'We think the spaceport will be beneficial for the future of Omani youth, so we felt it was important to be involved,' one vendor village told me. Even without a launch, the energy was unmistakable. This was the first time a public launch viewing experience was becoming a reality in the Middle East. And it wasn't just about watching rockets - it was about showing young Omanis that this is their space story, too. That they don't just have to read about launches in places like Florida, Baikonur or Japan. They can one day run them, design the rockets and maybe even fly on them. I left Etlaq with sand in my shoes, sunburn on my neck and the feeling that I had witnessed the start of something. It may be early days but the countdown has definitely begun.
