February 2011 – Nusa Dua, Bali With current issues of global warming, waste management and saving energy, it is no wonder that a large organization like Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has decided to do its part for a better future – for life and for the organization itself.
Throughout 2010, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has invested in many environmental programs, new facilities and policies, as well as creating a campaign called “Nikko Bali Goes Green”. Two turtle releases were done from nests found on the beach of the resort, continuous cleaning campaigns on the beach and surrounding area involving the local community; a local organization and internal campaigns to its associates to preserve energy and minimizing waste. Nikko Bali Resort and Spa also recently created a unique twist to the regular holiday hampers by creating an environmentally friendly gift for its partners using bio degradable materials and organic products.
Recently, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa went through an audit process in regards to these environmental policies and programs by TUV Rheinland (www.tuv.com) to achieve the ECO HOTEL certification. The ECO HOTEL is a certification specially developed for the hotel that has taken measures to be environmentally friendly and minimizing its impact on the environment. Based on the audit result, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has tremendously excelled in environmental activities, energy saving and safety issues. And within the next few days, TUV Rheinland, represented by the top management staffs of the company, is planned to officially announce the result and present the ECO HOTEL certificate to Nikko Bali Resort and Spa.
Along with this prestigious award, in 2010 Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has also received the ASEAN Green Hotel Standard award for the second time.
