Our Sustainability Principles
Eco-Friendly Tourism Practices
We are dedicated to minimizing our ecological footprint by:
Using solar-powered boats to reduce carbon emissions.
Implementing waste reduction and recycling programs onboard our vessels.
Sourcing local, organic ingredients to support small-scale farmers and minimize food miles.
Avoiding single-use plastics and promoting sustainable alternatives.
Wildlife Conservation & Habitat Protection
Borneo is home to some of the world’s most incredible wildlife, including the critically endangered orangutan. To safeguard their future, we:
Actively support the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, contributing to orangutan rescue, rehabilitation, and habitat restoration.
Operate with strict wildlife observation ethics, ensuring that all encounters are non-intrusive and respectful.
Educate travelers about conservation efforts and how they can contribute to protecting Borneo’s biodiversity.
Empowering Local Communities
Sustainability is also about people. We are committed to:
Employing and training local Dayak and Melayu communities, providing fair wages and career opportunities.
Partnering with local artisans, guides, musicians, and homestay providers to ensure economic benefits remain within the community.
Supporting educational programs, including Ransel Buku, a local initiative providing library services to riverside villages.
Sustainable Growth for Future Generations
We believe that tourism should be a force for good. That’s why we continuously seek new ways to:
Reduce our environmental impact through green technology and energy-efficient solutions.
Raise awareness about climate change, deforestation, and the importance of conservation.
Encourage guests to travel responsibly, with respect for local cultures and ecosystems.
