Sustainability

As part of our commitment to the local and global environment, we use cruelty and chemical-free products at The Banjaran. We also implement a strict policy on the use of single-use plastic and ensure that ceramic containers are used wherever possible. Throughout the resort, water and energy conservation is key, with the latest technology utilised, such as manual irrigation, low-usage water systems and the use of energy-efficient light bulbs. Waste management systems also ensure that various waste products such as paper, plastic, metal, glass, kitchen waste, garden waste and toxic waste are properly separated and recycled, while our onsite composting facility transforms waste into natural fertilisers.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at The Banjaran. Our thriving onsite organic gardens, now covering nearly 100 square meters, allow us to cultivate a significant portion of our own produce. Chef Boon meticulously selects local herbs, native vegetables, and fresh ingredients, which are then transformed into exquisite dishes across our restaurants.

We believe in engaging our guests in this journey toward sustainability, inviting you to participate in the experience of harvesting your own produce for lunch and dinner during your stay. This hands-on approach not only deepens your appreciation for sustainable farming but also connects you to the essence of our culinary philosophy.

We honour the unique topography of our surroundings by preserving natural elements and integrating them into our design, including water bodies, landscapes, and caves. Each villa showcases traditional architecture that promotes natural ventilation and solar control, utilizing locally sourced construction materials whenever possible. Our eco-chic interiors further enhance this connection to nature, incorporating recycled wood, deadwood, and driftwood to create a harmonious and sustainable living environment. This thoughtful approach not only respects the land but also fosters a seamless connection between luxury and nature.

We prioritise local employment and support regional agriculture in our culinary offerings by sourcing fair trade, cage-free, free-range, and reduced carbon footprint products. Additionally, we enhance our guest experiences with local goods, such as Labu Sayong for departure gifts and Pomelo fruit from local Tambun farmers as welcome gifts, ensuring that our initiatives benefit both our guests and the surrounding community.

In our commitment toward the future of mobility, we provide BMW i 7kW wallbox charging stations at The Banjaran for your convenience.

These stations are designed to be ergonomic and produced with high-quality, eco-friendly materials, certified to international standards for safe and reliable charging. If you prefer to travel around Ipoh in your electric vehicle, you can easily park and charge at our retreat during your stay.
