Green Globe has recently bestowed its certification upon the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, marking its inaugural recognition. Nestled along the coastline, this luxurious retreat, imbued with French-inspired elegance, features lush tropical gardens and contemporary architectural aesthetics. Employing a blend of high-tech and low-tech solutions, the resort endeavors to optimize energy efficiency in heating, cooling, and lighting systems, while also curbing water consumption and minimizing food wastage. To this end, the Winnow system, an advanced AI-driven food waste management solution, has been deployed in the resort’s kitchens. This innovative technology accurately identifies and quantifies food waste, facilitating streamlined data collection and generating actionable reports for management oversight. By establishing a baseline for organic waste measurement, the system catalyzes ongoing efforts to diminish waste output.
General Manager, Jean-Pierre Joncas said, “We take great pride and honor in achieving Green Globe certification. Our resort has consistently implemented sustainability measures, and we are committed to further enhancing our practices in the coming year for even more impactful and sustainable outcomes.”
Aligned with its sustainability pledge, the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort has orchestrated a transformation in supplier packaging practices, compelling more suppliers to adhere to the property’s responsible procurement guidelines. This initiative advocates for the adoption of reusable baskets over single-use plastic counterparts for product deliveries. Furthermore, as part of its campaign to eradicate single-use plastics, the resort has phased out all disposable plastic items and amenities from guest services, ushering in eco-friendly alternatives like wooden key cards and amenities.
Amidst the picturesque Indonesian archipelago, the resort stands as a beacon of environmental stewardship, prioritizing waste reduction strategies to mitigate its ecological impact. An onsite Indonesian Furniture Workshop epitomizes this commitment, serving as a hub for furniture restoration and enhancement to prolong their lifespan. With over 400 guest rooms and consistently high occupancy rates, the workshop plays a pivotal role in combating wear and tear. Leveraging local resources, traditional craftsmanship, and indigenous materials, this facility embodies sustainable practices while preserving local expertise and heritage.
Embracing the essence of Balinese culture, the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort champions community engagement through various CSR endeavors. Collaborations with local residents, artisans, and entrepreneurs infuse the resort experience with authentic Balinese traditions and craftsmanship. From providing employment opportunities to transportation services, the resort integrates local communities into its operations. Guests are invited to partake in immersive cultural experiences, guided by temple priests, which offer insights into Balinese rituals and beliefs. The resort’s architectural design also pays homage to Balinese heritage, exemplified by the awe-inspiring wooden carvings adorning its lobby walls, depicting the circle of life.
