World's Leading Sustainable Food & Nutrition Initiative 2025

ITC Hotels leads the industry in sustainable gastronomy through its ‘Responsible Luxury’ model and Food Circle Initiative. The group’s 20+ LEED Platinum Certified Hotels source 80% of their food produce locally. A myriad of their culinary initiatives highlight the Hotel Group’s commitment towards sustainability, such as their Farm to Plate initiative that sources food directly from regenerative farms, their Local Love program celebrates the regional cuisines of India and showcases its rich biodiversity, Millets is a superfood that finds itself in both A-La-Carte & Buffet dining options, for it is cultivated with minimum water as opposed to others, and their Alert Meet Menu is an innovative take on producing banqueting dishes that are low on glycemic index, thus non-inducive of food-coma.

The chain’s Food Sherpas are constantly engaging with local farmers to create ecologically sustainable and dietary nutritional menus, that makes fine dining a part of climate solution, proving that culinary excellence and planetary health can go hand-in-hand.
