June 05: As the world pauses to reflect on its relationship with the planet, ITC Royal Bengal and ITC Sonar mark World Environment Day with more than just a statement — they mark it with action. Guided by the philosophy of

Responsible Luxury, these two iconic properties have long recognised that true hospitality must serve not only their guests, but also the world those guests inhabit. Sustainability here is not an afterthought; it is the foundation upon which every experience is carefully built.

A thriving farm-to-table culture, supported by on-site kitchen gardens, ensures that guests enjoy fresh, locally sourced produce — reducing the carbon footprint while elevating culinary authenticity. EV charging facilities on the premises also make it easier for environmentally conscious guests to travel responsibly.

A landmark achievement in this sustainability journey came in April 2026, when ITC Royal Bengal received the coveted LEED Zero Water certification from Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), joining a select circle of properties worldwide recognised under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Zero framework for achieving net zero water consumption. This follows ITC Sonar‘s own LEED Zero Water certification in 2023 — a testament to ITC Hotels’ consistent, measurable impact on environmental stewardship.

This World Environment Day, ITC Royal Bengal and ITC Sonar stand as proof that true luxury and genuine responsibility are not just compatible — they are inseparable.
