Sustainability Measures

Munduk Moding Plantation (MMP) believes that a close relationship and integration between humans, nature, and the environment (Tri Hita Karana), is key for dealing with the environmental stresses and pressures on the island due to the rapid development of Bali tourism over the years. MMP integrates the basic principles of Tri Hita Karana in our operations striving for a genuinely sustainable tourism that is economically, socially, and environmentally viable.

"Munduk Moding Plantation is built on an organic coffee plantation and we are trying to preserve, as best as we can, the natural resources and the beautiful landscape in this area which, certainly compared to the South of the Island, has very limited international tourism. We have embarked on a journey to improve day by day and year after year our hotel’s efficiency and to reduce to the maximum extent our impact on the environment. We were one of the Green Globe’s earliest members in Bali and work with Bali’s premier green networks such as Book Greener and The Punch Community. Over time, we want to reach carbon neutrality in our operations. We have fully involved our staff in this decision and also provide information to our guests who are invited to participate."

Water

"We harvest rainwater which covers a significant proportion of our water needs and process all waste water in our Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF). The water produced by the WWTF is clean enough to be used to water our plantation."

Waste

"All waste is sorted. All of our organic waste is composted at our Composting site and used to fertilize the plantation. Single use plastic is banned at the plantation. We process plastic and used cooking oil to produce items such as candles and amenities for our hotel."

Energy

"We operate the largest solar electricity facility in our region and are studying how to install a micro-hydro plant. Regular energy audits and efficiency drives have cut our energy consumption even as MMP has grown. We aim to reduce energy consumption by 5% annually."

Awareness

"Staff is trained in environmental management issues and our sustainability manager has a cross cutting responsibility to promote sustainability across all of MMP’s operations. Our Green team reaches out to the local community and schools and invites them to participate in our green activities such as regular clean ups of nearby lakes and waterfalls."

Guest Participation

"We offer a number of environmental workshops to our guests (candle making; recycling) and MMP welcomes all suggestions on how our sustainability practices can be improved with real interest."

Environmental Commitment

"Our Green Team continuously works with the local community to reduce environmental stresses. Examples of our efforts concern: waterfall and lake clean ups, removing plastic dumps and hazardous waste. The Green Team has provided waste bins to the village allowing waste to be sorted and therefore more safely processed. In addition, the Green Team also contributes 1000 trees to the neighborhood every year to preserve its natural beauty and protect the water tables. We believe that the best way to do so is to take concrete actions, alongside a well-themed symbolic ceremony. This should help transform the mindset to be more caring, loving, and appreciative of Mother Nature."

Social Commitments

"The development of sustainable tourism includes respect for economic, environmental, and social values. The economic factor is important: the company must generate good salaries and benefits for those employed and remunerate the capital that has been invested in it. Environmental concerns have become an important issue around the world for the last 15 years. But the respect for local populations is often put aside in order to facilitate the growth of tourism.

Since its creation, Munduk Moding Plantation has been very concerned about the future of the local community and has worked very closely with them. We have done this through creating the Munduk Foundation that works to support the local community. The management team consists of locals who are particularly aware of and sensitive to this challenge. In MMP we try as hard as we can to not turn upside down local inhabitants’ way of life and culture. Indeed, we make sure to know the local community’s concerns about our activities and their real needs to contribute to improving their quality of life."
