Elements by Oberoi, the Group's holistic environmental and social responsibility framework, reflects a philosophy that has quietly shaped its ethos for decades and now takes centre stage as the company scales new heights.
For over 90 years, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts has defined exceptional hospitality, guided by enduring values and thoughtful service. In an age where conscious travel shapes global conversations, Elements by Oberoi represents the Group's evolved sustainability vision. It is deeply embedded in the Group's operations and continuously expanding to meet the needs of the planet, people, and future generations.
Guided by life-sustaining elements—Earth, Water, and Air, this comprehensive framework articulates the Group's environment-first actions and sets forth ambitious goals to further reduce ecological impact, drive operational innovation, and uplift communities.
Mr. Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman – The Oberoi Group, said, “We have always believed that excellence must be enduring. As we grow and expand our footprint, sustainability is not just a value—it is a way of life that shapes how we build, serve, and lead. With Elements by Oberoi, we reaffirm our commitment to responsible growth, where every decision is made with care for our planet and our communities.”
Mr. Vikram Oberoi, Chief Executive Officer – The Oberoi Group, further added, “True luxury is defined by the care with which we serve our guest and equally demonstrate through our actions towards people, the community and our planet. With Elements by Oberoi, sustainability is seamlessly embedded into the guest journey and in how we engage with people, the communities around us and our precious environment. Our commitment is to creating experiences that are both meaningful and mindful.”
EARTH: Honouring the Ground We Stand On
Our hotels are thoughtfully designed to live in harmony with their natural surroundings from organic farming and waste-to-compost systems to sustainable landscaping and locally sourced ingredients. We minimise waste through eco-friendly amenities, the elimination of plastic water bottles across all Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, and material reuse, building a circular model of sustainability rooted in respect for the land.
WATER: Respecting Every Drop
Water is one of the planet's most precious resources and at Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, preserving it is a core priority. From advanced rainwater harvesting and zero liquid discharge systems to sustainable laundry operations, we embed circular practices into our water management. Our initiatives also extend beyond hotel boundaries, supporting marine conservation and responsible water usage across communities.
AIR: Breathing Cleaner, Living Smarter
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and embracing clean energy, smart systems, and air purification across our hotels. From solar- and wind-powered operations to electric vehicle charging infrastructure and automated energy systems, our efforts ensure a healthier and more sustainable future for our guests and the planet.
Community Impact & 2030 Goals
Oberoi Hotels & Resorts believes that sustainability extends beyond the environment—it is also about uplifting people and preserving cultural identity. Through structured initiatives, the Group invests in inclusive growth, skill-building, and community partnerships.
By embedding local art and craft into hotel design, supporting surrounding communities, and nurturing talent through purposeful collaborations, these initiatives foster meaningful connections between people, place, and purpose.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to ambitious goals that have a lasting impact. By 2030, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts aims to:
- Recycle 100% of waste water and reduce fresh water consumption per occupied room by 20%
- Source 50% of electricity from renewable energy
- Transition transport fleets to fully electric vehicles
- Phase out fossil fuel-based thermal systems in favour of electric alternatives across all new hotels and while replace equipment at our existing hotels.
Elements by Oberoi is a quiet yet powerful philosophy reflected in every detail of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts' design, service, and operations. As sustainability becomes essential to luxury, Oberoi's legacy continues with conscience, care, and clarity of purpose.
About Oberoi Hotels & Resorts

This philosophy is evident in every one of our people and manifested most visibly in the sincere personal care and attention that is afforded every guest. While it is true that Oberoi's exceptional properties, accommodations and facilities contribute greatly to the esteem in which we are held, we measure our success by the value of the human interaction practiced by our people and deeply felt by our guests.
