Exemplifying a high commitment to environmental sustainability, Rodos Palladium Leisure & Wellness adopts a variety of eco-friendly practices. The property combines simple housekeeping measures with high-end technology to minimize its environmental footprint without compromising on the quality of service or accommodation. An intelligent building system regulates temperature, lighting, HVAC equipment, and water use, providing valuable data on each department's environmental performance. Solar energy is harnessed through a solar roof composed of flat plate thermal solar collectors, reducing thermal loads and generating hot water for various uses.

Rodos Palladium Leisure & Wellness also utilizes a photovoltaic system, which capitalizes on solar energy to reduce electricity consumption. Furthering the commitment to sustainability, energy-efficient windows are used to reduce thermal gains by up to 60%. Smart tap technology and digital water pressure controls are employed to conserve water. Energy recovery methods are used to pre-heat water for the laundry. Regular evaluations ensure ongoing improvements in sustainability practices. The hotel's efforts have earned it certifications from the Green Key (Foundation for Environmental Education – FEE), and the Blue Flag.
