Creating awareness about the environment, The Imperial, New Delhi launched ‘Ride For Green’ for the first time on occasion of World Environment Day to promote responsible conduct to preserve the environment. The hotel has been very concerned about the environment and adopts most of the possible measures to minimize the impact of its operation on the environment.
As part of the awareness activity, the Imperial organized a cycle rally under the leadership of Vijay Wanchoo Sr. Executive VP & GM, The Imperial New Delhi with other associates to highlight alternative practices to "Beat Air Pollution" in alignment with the United Nation’s theme for this year.
An extension of The Imperial’s pledge to #GiveUp plastic for ‘Beating Plastic Pollution’ and decrease its usage, the cycle rally was a call to action to combat and adopt greener practices to reduce air pollution. From the hotel the cyclists went to Janpath Road heading to Dr Rajendra Prasad Marg, then to Raisina Road, Vijay Chowk, Rajpath and India Gate and came back to Janpath Road to return to the hotel.
"The Imperial New Delhi is committed towards adopting environment-friendly practices to ensure that we function as a responsible organization. With the ‘Ride for Green’ initiative we are expanding our sustainability efforts further to highlight the need for nature-friendly ways of transport as I believe that this is the need of the hour. We believe in changing for a better tomorrow and it all starts with us. Carrying forward our efforts to recycle and reduce plastic usage while reducing water wastage and energy consumption across the hotel, our endeavor to beat air pollution has just begun," Wanchoo, said and added we continue to #GIVEUP to give back in association with WWF India and achieve excellence beyond luxury.
"At The Imperial, we are already in the process of installing air purifiers in the hotel to improve the indoor air quality for our guest and associates, and the aim is to scale up our ‘Ride for Green’ initiative in the coming years to make sure that the dialogue around air pollution gains momentum," he added.
