“The next 10 years are decisive for our future.”
The next 10 years are decisive for our future on planet Earth.
We all have a role to play in halving global emissions over the next decade in order to limit the Earth’s temperature rise to 1.5 degrees and ensure a better future for generations to come. As 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions are emitted from global consumerism, one of the best and fastest ways to tackle climate change is to consume better.

OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
The Punch was born from a deep love of the island of Bali, Indonesia, in recognition of the need to connect tourists with the businesses who were taking action to protect the island and its native communities.
From its rich, peaceful and creative essence, Bali is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, welcoming millions of travelers every year. Unfortunately, although a welcome boost to the economy, tourism in Bali contributes to environmental and social challenges by increasing waste, reducing natural resources and threatening both eco systems and communities.
As someone living on the island for several years, I took these challenges seriously and was determined to be part of the solution. My approach was based around the idea that “thousands of small, imperfect actions add up and have the power to inspire and create big change”. While building The Punch Community, my philosophy successfully encouraged more than 200 hospitality destinations and brands of Bali to make a positive change and supported them in committing to a minimum of five environmental responsible actions, as part of their daily operations.
The Punch is now expanding globally with hundreds of brands committed to minimizing their environmental footprint.
