The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s Ethos
The highest standard of guest experience is paramount at The Apurva Kempinski Bali, where all operational initiatives are centred around four core pillars, namely Guest Intelligence, Gastronomy, Craftsmanship, and Cultures, each of which is embedded with a sustainability approach, allowing the resort to deliver uncompromising luxury while ensuring minimal environmental and social impact.
Embracing all aspects of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in its business approach, The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s commitment to sustainable growth includes effective sustainability management, empowering the local community through programmes such as Sustainable Agriculture and Educational Development, as well as engaging in a series of initiatives to reduce the impact on the environment including waste management, hydroponic rooftop garden, electric vehicle guest experience, and mangrove planting programmes.
In addition, every element at The Apurva Kempinski Bali is carefully curated to celebrate Indonesia’s culture, heritage, and philosophy. From contemporary architecture that pays homage to the Majapahit kingdom to the resort’s annual campaign ‘Powerful Indonesia’, each aspect reflects the resort’s dedication to honouring Indonesia’s legacy while setting a standard in luxury hospitality.
“It is truly an honour for us to be recognised globally as a leader in sustainable hospitality. This achievement is a testament to our unwavering dedication to redefining luxury through a sustainable lens”, said General Manager Vincent Guironnet. “As we celebrate our journey towards a sustainable future, we remain dedicated to continue innovating and driving meaningful change while providing exceptional experience to our guests.”
