Danum Valley Conservation Area is one of the last remaining protected lowland rainforest in Borneo. This exquisite place is home to several endemic plants, insect and animal species.  The Management feels it as a responsibility to preserve this "Wonder of Nature" by providing services in a manner that minimizes impact on this pristine environment.  To minimize the environmental impact of the lodge, the Borneo Rainforest Lodge will be implementing several green practices in stages.

The aims of these practices are to:
1. Reduce waste and maximize the reuse & recycling of waste;
2. Reduce chemical usage;
3. Reduce water pollution;
4. Reduce energy consumption;
5. Encourage environmentally friendly attitude & behavior of guest and staff;
6. Measure, monitor and continuously minimize environmental impact.

Some data:

• 70% less plastic waste (about 1450 kg) in 2010 by installing refill facilities for filtered water, selling reusable drinking bottles, using only 100% biodegradable, compostable bags (made out of corn starch) or paper bags and using reusable containers for shampoo and body gel.
• 12% less land filling in 2010 by recycling plastic, tin cans, aluminum cans, paper and carton, car batteries and scrap metal;
• On progress of investigating best practice for composting organic waste which will lead to 80% less land filling in 2010
• Reduce energy usage by using solar water heater, using ceiling fan without air conditioning in the rooms, installing LED- lamps and/or energy saver bulbs;
• Reduce chemical usage by only using eco-friendly insect repellent and eco-friendly detergents & toiletries (not containing phosphates, optical whiteners, chlorine, ammonia, parabenes, synthetic perfumes and coloring).
• Clean up sewage by using natural cleaner containing powerful microbes, anti-oxidants and enzymes and/or implementation of reed bed.
