has a unique responsibility—and opportunity—to influence sustainable choices at scale. By adopting
electric mobility across our operations, we are taking decisive steps to reduce carbon emissions,
improve air quality in the communities we serve, and provide our guests with greener, future-ready
travel options. Greener journeys, cleaner air—hospitality must lead the way.”
Dr. Divya Sharma, India Executive Director, Climate Group, shares "Chalet Hotels are the first
hospitality business in India to commit to EV100. They've not only been ambitious but have turned
their pledge into reality four years into making the commitment. Fully electrifying their committed

industry is flourishing, and I congratulate them for showing an example of corporate willingness to act
on their convictions."
