Sustainability

At Novotel Mumbai International Airport, sustainability isn’t just a concept — it’s a commitment deeply woven into our everyday operations, guest experiences, and long-term vision.

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice thoughtful, responsible choices that reflect our dedication to the planet and community.

Here’s how we’re making a difference:

1}We’ve implemented numerous initiatives to minimize our environmental impact and promote a greener future. From our 280 KLD capacity wastewater treatment plant to rainwater harvesting and the utilization of grey water for various purposes, every drop is valued and utilized efficiently.

2}We promote eco-friendly transport with an on-site electric vehicle charging station.

3}We have installed waterless urinals and sustainable grooming kits.

4}We’ve embraced renewable energy with our solar generation system and heat recovery systems, while also prioritizing energy-efficient lighting throughout the hotel.

5}Our commitment to waste reduction is evident in initiatives like; the elimination of single-use plastics in guest-facing areas and also the heart of the house.

6}Proper measures are taken to dispose of used cooking oil and segregate food waste.

7}With motion sensors, sensor-based taps and aerators, we’re conserving resources without compromising on comfort.

8}Additionally, our focus on local ingredients and zero-waste policies in the cafeteria where all days are no-bin day, highlights our commitment to sustainability.

9}Digital Room Keys – The transition to digital room keys represents a significant move towards reducing plastic waste. Traditional plastic key cards are often single-use and contribute to environmental pollution. By implementing wooden and digital room keys, which can be accessed via smartphones, the hotel minimizes its carbon footprint. This not only reduces waste but also enhances convenience for guests.

10}Green Building Concept – Natural Light & Glass Panels: The hotel’s architectural design incorporates large glass panels to maximize natural light. This reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, cutting down on energy consumption. Increased use of natural light leads to energy savings and creates a more pleasant environment for guests. It also aligns with green building practices, which prioritize energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

11}Heat-Recovering Units (HRU): The use of Heat-Recovering Units (HRUs) allows the hotel to capture and reuse heat generated by HVAC systems, kitchen exhausts, and other sources. This technology reduces the overall energy consumption by recycling heat that would otherwise be wasted, contributing to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

12}Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Usage: Novotel Mumbai International Airport uses Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) instead of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in its operations. CNG is a cleaner alternative to PNG, emitting fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases. This switch contributes to better air quality and aligns with global efforts to combat climate change.

13}Bio-degradable Cleaning Detergents: The hotel has committed to using over 80% biodegradable cleaning detergents. This reduces the environmental impact of cleaning operations, ensuring that harmful chemicals do not enter waterways and ecosystems. Biodegradable detergents break down naturally, leaving a smaller environmental footprint.

14}Locally and Seasonably Produced Food: Novotel prioritizes sourcing locally produced and seasonal foods for its kitchens. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances and supports the local economy. Seasonal foods are often fresher and more nutritious, contributing to a better dining experience.

15}On-site Bottling Plant: A bottling plant is installed at the hotel premises. On-site water bottling reduces the need for plastic bottles, transportation emissions, and waste. It supports the hotel’s broader sustainability goals by cutting down on single-use plastics.

16}No-Smoking: We are a complete no-smoking hotel. All our rooms are non-smoking rooms.
