Paathya, Indian Hotels Company Limited’s (IHCL) ESG+ framework, unites long‑term priorities—environmental stewardship, community development, and responsible operations—into a single, actionable vision. Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, set within a 180‑acre rainforest in Coorg, is a living expression of that philosophy. Built over seven years without cutting a single tree, the resort uses only 30 acres for development and employs locally sourced, low‑impact materials to minimise its ecological footprint. Guided by deep respect for the surrounding ecosystem, the property supports over 300 bird species and operates entirely plastic‑free, powered primarily by renewable energy. Programmes such as the Batracharium, biodiversity walks, and beekeeping cultivate ecological awareness among guests and associates, while local hiring and craft partnerships strengthen community ties. Recognised with EarthCheck Gold Certification, Taj Madikeri demonstrates how responsible design and thoughtful operations can create harmony between hospitality, heritage, and habitat.Paathya, Indian Hotels Company Limited’s (IHCL) ESG+ framework, unites long‑term priorities—environmental stewardship, community development, and responsible operations—into a single, actionable vision.
