Radisson RED Oslo City Centre Opens as Group’s Second Verified Net Zero Hotel

The certification reflects a full conversion of a 1939 building to run on 100% renewable energy under TÜV Rheinland verification.

Overview

  • The property meets the 2040 requirements of the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels, eliminating Scope 1 and 2 emissions with renewable electricity and Oslo’s district heating from waste-to-energy and data‑centre heat recovery.
  • Radisson reports Scope 3 cuts across operations and supply chains, with remaining emissions covered by Agreena nature‑based carbon removal certificates supporting 2,300 farmers over 4.5 million hectares in Europe.
  • Guest-facing measures include low‑carbon menus developed with Klimato, food‑waste tracking and Too Good To Go partnerships, bulk and plastic‑free amenities, glass water bottles, and extensive recycling.
  • The hotel offers 118 redesigned rooms, vibrant social spaces, a renovated gym, and six meeting rooms with modern audiovisual technology and high‑speed Wi‑Fi in a central location near major Oslo landmarks.
  • Following an earlier Verified Net Zero opening in Manchester, Radisson frames the Oslo debut as part of its pathway to reach Net Zero by 2050 through conversions of existing properties.
