BALINEWS.ID – In commemoration of Earth Day, PT. Hatten Bali Tbk reaffirms its steadfast dedication to environmental sustainability through strategic initiatives aligned with the Bali Clean Movement—an imperative initiative spearheaded by the Provincial Government of Bali under the stewardship of Governor Wayan Koster.
The highlight of this commitment was a prestigious Earth Day gathering, graced by the esteemed presence of Governor Koster, alongside key stakeholders and strategic partners. The event marked a pivotal juncture as the company formalized sustainability partnerships with its collaborators.
“We are profoundly honored by the Governor’s participation in this event, which bolsters our resolve to actively contribute to the Bali Clean Movement,” remarked I.B. Rai Budarsa, President Director of PT Hatten Bali Tbk.
As a trailblazer in Bali’s viticulture sector since 1994, PT Hatten Bali Tbk recognizes the urgency of tackling environmental challenges, particularly the pressing issue of waste management in Bali. With several waste processing sites across regencies nearing capacity, the company acknowledges the imperative to assume a proactive role in offering sustainable solutions.
Concrete actions begin internally, starting with the implementation of comprehensive waste segregation systems across all facilities, distinguishing between organic and non-organic waste. This initiative is complemented by community engagement programs in collaboration with Malu Dong, focusing on educating and training communities in organic waste management. These endeavors aim not only to address waste management pragmatically but also to instill greater environmental consciousness at the grassroots level.
In handling non-organic waste, PT Hatten Bali Tbk has partnered with PT Bersih Dari Sampah (DBS) to ensure professional waste management practices that mitigate pollution and diminish contributions to landfills. Embracing renewable energy, the company has initiated a solar panel installation project in collaboration with SolPoint, advancing the transition to efficient and sustainable energy sources.
“Through these partnerships, we are fostering a sustainable ecosystem that engages both communities and the private sector. Our mission is clear yet ambitious: to eliminate landfill reliance and adopt environmentally responsible practices,” emphasized I.B. Rai Budarsa.
The event served as a collaborative platform across industries, inspiring businesses to proactively safeguard Bali’s natural heritage.
