At Sterling, we believe that true hospitality should not only delight our guests—but also leave the world better than we found it. Sterling Sankalp, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiative, brings this belief to life through meaningful action—nurturing the environment, uplifting communities, and upholding ethical governance.
From rainwater harvesting in Ooty and EV charging stations in Mussoorie, to empowering local artisans in Puri, Sankalp weaves sustainability into the very fabric of our resorts. Every guest experience becomes part of a larger purpose—one that respects nature, celebrates local culture, and supports inclusive growth.
Through Sankalp, we aim to leave behind more than just memories—we aim to leave behind a legacy. A legacy of responsibility, resilience, and hope—for the next generation to inherit a world worth exploring.
From reducing plastic waste and conserving water to enabling local livelihoods and supporting healthcare access, each initiative under Sankalp is designed to create real-world change. Backed by data, driven by purpose, and rooted in accountability, Sankalp translates our values into results that matter—for our guests, our communities, and the planet.
