SUSTAINABLE & LOCAL SOURCING
"Our goal is to continuously evolve our hospitality operations by reducing our environmental footprint and consistently exploring innovative sustainability technologies and environmental solutions. Our guiding principles are rooted in the Balinese Hindu philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasise the three pillars of wellbeing and prosperity. Beyond mere sustainability, our commitment extends to actively supporting local communities and charitable foundations."
PERSONAL WELLNESS
The Balinese Philosophy of Tri Kaya Parisudha emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean mind, speech, and actions for a balanced life. Fivelements embodies this philosophy by offering wellness support that integrates mental, spiritual, and physical health. This support is embedded in their design, operations, and the natural, sustainably produced products they offer. Their goal is for guests to leave feeling so enriched with positive energy and love that they naturally spread it to others.
SOCIAL HARMONY
Fivelements' Social Policy focuses on continuous dialogue and feedback to ensure well-organized and appropriate projects. Their current program includes efforts in social awareness and impact projects. They support knowledge sharing through events and commit to at least two ongoing social projects annually, both locally and globally. These projects prioritize spiritual and traditional knowledge, environmental awareness, regenerative water use, and clean food production. Fivelements collaborates with local partners and global organizations to amplify their impact.
NET POSITIVE IMPACT
Fivelements aims to go beyond sustainable practices by adopting Regenerative Design, which creates self-sustaining positive impacts through synergies in operations and partnerships. They start by seeking Green Building certification and then measure and offset any negative impacts through initiatives like tree planting and supporting social campaigns. Their focus areas include Site Sensitivity and Natural Habitat, Water, Energy, Materials, Waste, and Indoor Environmental Quality. They commit to practices like preserving natural habitats, treating wastewater, reducing energy use, prioritizing sustainable materials, managing waste responsibly, and ensuring high indoor environmental quality.
