The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali in Indonesia has achieved its inaugural Green Globe certification, verifying the resort’s efforts in sustainability, environmental responsibility, and community engagement. Situated along the white sands of Nusa Dua Beach, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, is a contemporary five-star resort offering a combination of wellness-focused hospitality, family-friendly amenities, and business-oriented event spaces. Green Globe certification validates the resort’s commitment to implementing sustainable practices while maintaining a high level of service and a luxurious guest experience.

Sustainability is embedded throughout the resort’s operations, with various initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact. To minimize landfill contributions and supporting a circular food cycle, the resort has installed an innovative compost machine, which transforms organic kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost. This system processes food scraps daily, producing compost that the resort uses to enrich its gardens, fostering biodiversity and enhancing the natural surroundings.
The resort has taken a significant step in renewable energy adoption by installing an 807 kWp solar energy system. Expected to generate 1,237,735 kWh of clean energy in its first year, the system is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 840,422 kg annually, with a total offset of 19,565,134 kg over its 25-year lifetime. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, the solar panels contribute to long-term cost savings, providing energy at a 20% discount compared to conventional rates and saving an estimated IDR 24.9 billion over 25 years.
In addition to its environmental efforts, the resort actively engages with the local community through Marriott Bonvoy’s "Good Travel" program. Through this program, the resort invites guests to participate in experiences that create positive impacts on the local community. One such experience is the Classroom Sharing Session, conducted in partnership with SLB Negeri 1 Badung, a school for children with disabilities. During this experience, guests interact with students, sharing stories about their careers and home countries, offering exposure to different professional paths and global cultures. Additionally, participants assist in upgrading school facilities, including the Kids Playground, Music Room, and Multimedia Room, ensuring children have a safe and enriching learning environment.
By achieving Green Globe certification, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, joins a network of businesses committed to responsible tourism. The resort continues to explore innovative sustainability solutions while working to balance guest comfort with environmental considerations, supporting both local communities and global climate efforts.
