Westin Bali Aims to be Green
May 21st, 2008
The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali is planning to obtain Green Globe certification with the hope to lessen its impact on the environment.
Still in the first stages of the Green Globe Program, called Benchmarking, The Westin Resort Bali has been measuring its usage of energy, paper, cleaning products and the amount of solid waste the Resort produces each year.
There is a Sustainability Policy outlining the Resort’s environmental and social objectives and together with Green Globe and an environmental consultant Westin Bali hopes to achieve certification by December 2009.
Associates were introduced to the program this week with reusable eco-friendly shopping bags with the words ‘reduce, reuse, recycle, recover and renew’on it to increase the awareness of environmental impact.
“It’s crucial to have our Associates understand and support this program. Without their support we will never be able to achieve our goals. We want them to have a deep understanding of how essential this program is and hopefully they will not only implement it at work but will also apply this knowledge at home,” said Jan Bundgaard, General Manager of The Westin Resort Bali.
He added, “This is to celebrate the hotel’s commitment to Green Globe 21 and to be an active part of the solution. We all need to act with more responsibility for our one and only earth ensuring a livable environment for future generations.”
