The Ayana Resort and Spa in Bali has been
certified as an Eco Hotel by TUV Rheinland Germany, in recognition
of its commitment to reduce its carbon footprint through
environmentally sustainable practices.
TUV Rheinland conducted a
rigorous audit over an 18-month period, including a thorough site
inspection, documentation review, interviews with staff and
management, and implementation of an action plan.
The final audit
found Ayana met all requirements of ecological operations relating
to Organization and Objectives, Purchasing & Safety of Hazardous
Substances, Water & Waste Management, Office Supplies, Facilities
& Surroundings, Energy Management and Safety.
"Ayana has long
followed environmentally sustainable practices - such as our two
water recycling plants, which have been in use for more than 10
years to recycle 'grey' and 'black' water for use on our gardens
and ponds, our composting program, energy efficiency and use of
eco-friendly detergents and other products. These measures have
been in place long before the words 'Eco Hotel' became a trendy
catchphrase. It is rewarding to finally be officially recognized
and we are extremely proud of everyone involved in this intensive
certification process," said Clive Edwards, Ayana's Rooms
Executive and the person-in-charge of the Eco Certification
Program. "This is not the end of the story for us. The
world is changing every day and consumers are rightly demanding
that businesses operate as responsible members of the community,
putting back as much – if not more – than what they take. We will
continue to assess how we can further reduce our carbon footprint,
while providing the highest level of service, facilities and guest
experience."
The Eco Certification comes shortly
after
Ayana
became one of the first hotels in Bali to be certified as Tsunami
Ready.
