Tri Hita Karana
Sustainability & Community Impact
At Bali Longevity Clinics, we believe that true wellness is inseparable from the health of our environment and community. Our business is intrinsically linked to the beauty and cultural richness of Bali, and we consider it our fundamental responsibility to protect and nurture it.
In Short
Our commitment to sustainability is guided by the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana — the harmony between humans, nature, and the divine.
Environment
Environmental Commitments
We are dedicated to minimizing our ecological footprint and actively contributing to the preservation of Bali’s precious natural resources.
Carbon Neutral Operations
We partner with The Nature Conservancy Indonesia to calculate and offset 100% of the carbon emissions from our clients’ and staff’s air and ground travel. This investment supports reforestation and conservation projects within Indonesia.
Bali Water Protection Program
We are a proud corporate sponsor of the Bali Water Protection Program. A percentage of our revenue is donated to this vital initiative, which works to restore the island’s aquifers and promote sustainable water practices.
Zero Single-Use Plastics
Our operations are strictly free of single-use plastics. We provide clients with reusable glass water bottles and work only with transport and accommodation partners who share this commitment.
Responsible Waste Management
We extend our diligence to our partners, auditing the waste management practices of our recommended clinics to ensure they comply with or exceed local regulations for both general and medical waste.
Renewable Energy
Solar panels generate approximately 35% of our electricity, dramatically cutting down on our reliance on conventional energy sources. Coupled with energy-efficient appliances and smart lighting, we continually minimise our carbon footprint.
Water Conservation
Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store water for irrigation and non-potable uses. Greywater recycling further treats water from showers and sinks, repurposing it for landscaping without straining local freshwater supplies.
Community
Community & Social Commitments
We are committed to being a positive force for economic and social development.
Local Employment & Empowerment
We are committed to a ‘Bali First’ hiring policy. Over 90% of our team members are Indonesian nationals, with a majority being of Balinese descent. We invest in their professional development and provide fair, competitive wages and benefits.
Supporting Local Economies
We prioritize partnerships with locally-owned businesses, from our transport providers to the artisans who create the items in our client welcome packages. This ensures that the economic benefits of our business flow directly into the local community.
Community Project Funding
We partner with a local village council (banjar) in the Gianyar regency to fund a community-led project each year, focusing on youth education in health and environmental stewardship.
Cultural Preservation
We provide our clients with guidance on respectful cultural engagement, encouraging them to appreciate and honor the unique traditions of Bali. We also support local artisans and traditional craftspeople, integrating their work into the aesthetic of our clinics.
This approach not only stimulates the local economy but also preserves the authentic Balinese warmth and hospitality that defines the guest experience.
Sourcing
Ethical Sourcing and Partnerships
The journey to holistic wellness begins with the integrity of what we consume and what we offer. Our culinary program embraces a farm-to-table philosophy that champions local, organic agriculture.
We partner directly with a network of small Balinese farms located within a 50-kilometre radius of our clinics, ensuring the freshest, most nutrient-dense ingredients for our guests. This direct partnership also provides vital economic support to local farmers, helping them sustain traditional farming practices and livelihoods.
Similarly, the spa and wellness products used in our treatments are meticulously selected for their purity, efficacy, and ethical origins. We prioritize natural, organic ingredients sourced from Balinese producers who adhere to sustainable harvesting practices.
Beyond our existing environmental collaborations, we actively seek out and support local non-governmental organizations focused on marine conservation, forest protection, and community development.
- Facilities use locally sourced, sustainable building materials such as bamboo, recycled teak, and natural stone.
- Architectural design maximises natural light and cross-ventilation, lowering energy consumption.
- All organic waste from kitchens and gardens is composted and returned to the earth.
- We aim to divert over 70% of waste from landfills annually.
