Environmental

Through collaborations with our team, owners, hotel management, suppliers, business partners and guests, we actively work to reduce the environmental impacts and risks to our business by focusing on critical areas, including carbon emissions from energy, waste and water.  Sustainable initiatives that have been activated at the resort include:

Lower Carbon Footprint
The Apurva Kempinski Bali has partnered with Indonesia’s premium sustainable brands, such as Nissan LEAF, Bank Central Asia and Danone Indonesia, to operate the ‘Electric Vehicle Experience and Solar Panel Charging Hub’. This partnership focuses on creating a more environmentally friendly option for travellers. Those who stay at the resort can now use Nissan’s electric vehicle, Nissan LEAF, and contribute to reducing carbon emissions as they explore the Nusa Dua area and adjacent attractions. To ensure a seamless experience, the resort also has its own EV charging station, making it the only resort in Bali to have this essential site.

Green Linen Artefact
This artefact is presented in the form of Jalak Bali, also known as the Bali starling, the island’s indigenous bird. The artefact is placed on the bed by the guest, to indicate that they would like to have their linen replaced. By leaving the artefact on the bedside table, the guest indicates that they would like to save water by having their linen replaced the following day.

In a Mission to Achieve Zero Waste by:
o    Replacing single-use plastic with biodegradable products
In addition to replacing the commonly used items such as straws to biodegradable products, we are partnering with Tanamera to provide compost certified coffee capsules throughout the resort. 
o    Linen for Life and Soap for Life in partnership with Diversey
In collaboration with Diversey, the ‘Linens for Life’ programme provides free face masks made from clean and hygienic discarded hotel linen to people in the local community who are in need. Meanwhile, the Soap for Hope programme provides at-risk people with access to soap, and information about how and when to use it. Soaps from the resort are cut and disinfected and pressed together to form new soap bars.

•    Sourcing locally
o    Rooftop Hydroponic Garden
Using the rooftop space to grow various types of greens, this Rooftop Garden is set to establish a more sustainable kitchen in the resort. Plants are grown in a hydroponic and soil cultivation system. These plants are then harvested, and used as cooking ingredients.

o    Sustainable Wedding 2022
A wedding is one of the most memorable moments in a person's life. At the same time, it can be very wasteful and damaging to our planet. To address this issue, The Apurva Kempinski Bali has invited several key partners that share our vision of a more responsible wedding celebration. Each of these partners play an important part in reducing the Lending their expertise on decorations is Designmill Co., who utilised recycled papers, potted plants, wooden chairs to decorate the venue. They are joined by Kaeen who is known for sharing Indonesian creativity through their fabric. Another partner from the fashion industry is SukkhaCitta, an award-winning social enterprise that focuses on changing lives in rural Indonesia, who will be creating the wedding dress for the bride. Puri Ata and Taga Woodcraft provide their locally handmade crafts, as a sustainable wedding gift. For food and beverage, Plaga Farm becomes the resort’s partner that demonstrates accountability for their people and environment. Similarly, other ingredients are sourced from local producers. Meanwhile, Tanamera Coffee and Balian Water are invited to participate, as brands that are committed to respect the ecosystem and communities they work with their products.

o    Sustainable Agriculture
Throughout the regula 12-month programme, The Apurva Kempinski’s hydroponic farming and organic experts will support Samsara Living Museum’s agriculture team in addressing challenges by sharing the skills and know-how to farm more sustainably, which knowledge the institution will pass on to the broader community. The programme will drive an increase in the production of sustainable produce in Bali and reinforce the recipient communities’ business and management skills. This includes the promotion of sustainable farming practices to increase the quality of the produce, supply-chain management and quality control throughout the chain.
