Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mercedes-Benz Bangladesh, represented by Rancon Motors Ltd, and CrackPlatoon Charging Solution Limited to install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at the hotel premises.
“This strategic collaboration underscores a shared commitment to sustainability and the advancement of green mobility in Bangladesh,” the hotel said in a statemenr.
“The installation of EV charging infrastructure at the hotel will support the growing number of electric vehicle users while reinforcing the property’s dedication to environmentally responsible operations.”
It said the initiative is one of several steps taken to reduce the carbon footprint of the hotel, while also enhancing guest convenience, and promoting cleaner transport solutions.
“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said Duco E de Vries, cluster general manager of Radisson Blu Dhaka and Chattogram.
“By working together with Mercedes-Benz Bangladesh and CrackPlatoon Charging Solution Limited, we are creating infrastructure that supports eco-conscious travel and contributes to a greener future.”
Radisson Blu Dhaka is also introducing glass water bottles to reuse single-use plastic for water service and significantly reduce plastic waste in a first for Bangladesh’s hospitality industry, he said.
“Sustainability is at the heart of our operations, from strict food waste management and water-saving practices to staff-led green initiatives. We actively encourage eco-conscious mobility, including bicycle use and organised staff transport systems to reduce emissions.”
He also touted the in-house herb garden and vegetable plantations that ensure fresh, organic sourcing while contributing to “Vegetable Day” menus that promote “healthy and sustainable” dining choices every Wednesday.
“We also invest in large-scale green landscaping to nurture biodiversity, reduce our carbon footprint, and create a cooler, more welcoming environment across our hotel grounds. Through rainwater harvesting and reuse systems, we ensure that every drop of water is valued and utilised responsibly,”
“In that same spirit, the installation of EV charging systems marks another important step in supporting sustainable mobility. Looking ahead, we remain committed to introducing more eco-friendly initiatives as we continue to minimise our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future for our guests and the community,” De Vries said.
Radisson Blu Dhaka said it is taking these initiatives to integrate sustainable practices into hospitality services to provide premium experiences for guests while minimising environmental impact.
“Through this collaboration, all partners aim to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Bangladesh and support the country’s transition toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future,” it said.
