Radisson Blu Sandton embraces responsible business
The Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton has dedicated itself to making a difference by embracing the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group’s newly launched Think Planet campaign - the international hotel group’s ambitious energy saving program which aims to reduce energy consumption by 25% over the next five years.
In line with the Think Planet campaign, the hotel will be changing all light bulbs within the hotel as well as actively participating in Earth Hour initiatives in a bid to save the planet.
In addition, the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton has initiated several socially responsible projects to aid local communities, one of these being Hotel Hope, an orphanage situated in Melville, Johannesburg, for which the hotel has supplied baby goods and donated clothing and assisted with the house maintenance as well as allowing the orphanage use of the Radisson as a venue for their annual meetings.
Continuing with the aim of job creation and local development, the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton has also partnered wit the City of Johannesburg Tourism to offer unemployed youth “on the job” training as well as presenting on-site skills development programs to previously disadvantaged communities.
