Radisson reports intensity-based carbon reductions and SBTi-validated net zero targets, but discloses no absolute emissions tonnage across its rapidly expanding 40,000-key portfolio, masking whether growth is offsetting per-unit gains. Supply chain Scope 3 mapping remains incomplete, renewable energy adoption is real but certificate-heavy, and nature/water programmes lack quantified outcomes. Governance is solid; controversies minimal.
