Sustainability
Long-term Sustainability at the Core of Our Actions
The resort is seamlessly integrated into the steep terraced landscape of the Ayung River gorge. The tiered structure of the villas and pools follows the natural contours of the land, creating a harmonious blend with the surrounding environment.
Hanging Gardens of Bali incorporates sustainable and responsible tourism practices that respect and contribute to the preservation of the local environment. Our commitment extends beyond preserving the beauty of the natural surroundings to fostering a positive ecological and social impact.
To protect and sustain the environment, the resort employs energy-efficient technologies such as LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances to minimize energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint. Water conservation is another cornerstone of our operations, with measures including rainwater harvesting, water recycling, and water-efficient landscaping practices. Additionally, our water sterilization and purification systems ensure safe and clean drinking water for guests while reducing reliance on single-use plastic bottles.
We are committed to waste reduction through composting, recycling programs, and encouraging sustainable practices among our guests. Organic waste is composted, and recyclable materials are repurposed to minimize the amount sent to landfills. Locally sourced, sustainable materials are prioritized throughout the resort, from construction to the dining facilities, fostering a strong connection with the surrounding community.
Promoting Local Talent and Career Development
At Hanging Gardens of Bali, we believe in empowering the local community by providing employees with additional training and career advancement opportunities. Our initiatives focus on nurturing local talent, enhancing skills, and creating pathways for growth within the hospitality sector. By investing in our team members, we aim to cultivate a culture of excellence and ensure that the benefits of the resort’s success are shared with the community.
The International Flower Competition (IFC) Foundation
As a pioneer in sustainability, Hanging Gardens of Bali founded the International Flower Competition (IFC) Foundation, an initiative that merges ecological preservation with community empowerment. The IFC Foundation began with a flower gardening competition in Banjar Susut, Payangan, encouraging local villagers to transform the areas in front of their homes into vibrant floral displays.
This initiative not only brought beauty and biodiversity to rural villages but also educated communities on the importance of environmental stewardship. By fostering creativity and ecological awareness, the competition has become a symbol of our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to supporting local traditions and livelihoods. The success of the IFC Foundation continues to inspire long-term ecological initiatives, ensuring the preservation of Bali’s unique natural and cultural heritage for generations to come.
