Three Existing Radisson Blu Meetings and Events Hotels in Norway to Join Radisson Hotel Group’s Verified Net Zero Hotels Program

The conversion of three established properties shows that large-scale meetings and events hotels can transition to verified net zero operations without compromising scale or service.

Key Highlights
- Three Norwegian Hotels Joining Verified Net Zero Program (Summer 2026):
- Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Bergen – 342 rooms, 21 event spaces.
- Radisson Blu Royal Garden Hotel, Trondheim – 298 rooms, 15 meeting rooms.
- Radisson Blu Hotel, Tromsø – 269 rooms, 10 meeting rooms, Tromsø Hall (650 delegates).
- Together: 900+ rooms, 46 meeting/event spaces, capacity for 1,300+ delegates.

Sustainability Approach
- Reduction-first model:
- Scope 1 & 2 emissions eliminated via electrification and renewable energy.
- Scope 3 emissions reduced across F&B, waste, laundry, procurement, amenities.
- Residual emissions handled only through carbon removals.
- Verification: Independent third-party audit by TÜV Rheinland.

Strategic Significance
- Builds on earlier Verified Net Zero hotels in Manchester and Oslo.
- Demonstrates that large-scale meetings & events hotels can achieve net zero without compromising service or capacity.
- Announced at IMEX Frankfurt 2026, positioning Norway as a hub with four Verified Net Zero hotels by summer 2026.

Leadership Insight
Inge Huijbrechts (Chief Sustainability & Security Officer) emphasized that these hotels “not only eliminate emissions from energy but also demonstrate strong carbon reduction across operational emissions,” meeting growing demand for sustainable meetings and events.

This move signals Radisson’s intent to scale verified net zero operations across Europe and beyond, making sustainability a core differentiator in the meetings & events segment.
