RE: [bali-bali] FW: Hyatt Bali

Anton,

This one needs our common monitoring efforts, Walhi would be the leading team (i suggest) or may ask Yuyun or GUS to just do the monitoring and go to the GM and ask for further information in regard to the remedial action plan and the schedule of realization.

We can do pressure by keeping email them.

Ingetin aja terus....

Dear Vieb,

Kayanya surat tanggapan nya juga sama untuk semua kita kita yang nulis. Pinter juga penangkisnya.... Kita copy paste, dia tinggal change name, he he he.. Siasat high teck.

Let us see what really are they doing about this ? They need to give expedient report of what immediate remedial action they plan to do? Who is to judge whether they have complied with the eco standards?

Salam

Antonio

Dear Ms. Szabuniewicz,

Thank you for expressing your commitment to Bali's environment -- a concern Hyatt shares -- in your recent email. I can assure you that Hyatt is committed to sustainable business practices at its managed hotels throughout the world. We work diligently to minimize our impact on the environment by conserving resources, reducing waste and fostering a culture of environmental consciousness among our associates, guests and business partners.

At Hyatt, we operate in a manner than complies with local regulations and aligns with our goals of ethical behavior and sustainability. We are deeply disturbed by your characterization of Hyatt's environmental practices and will certainly investigate the matter.

Best Regards,

Subject	Shame on you Hyatt!

Dear Hyatt Corporate Management,

We are a group of concerned individuals (residents - Indonesian & expat, tourism workers, ngo workers, businesses, tourists, surfers, students and children) that are frustrated with the destruction of Bali's environment and the lack of environmental law enforcement and corporate social responsibility.

We want to inform you that the Hyatt is in gross violation of not just your own Hyatt environmental/sustainability policies and local Indonesian laws, but are also putting the health of your own guests at risk. Hyatt management has over the years exploited the lack of local environmental law enforcement and knowingly illegally disposed of its wastes and other dangerous residue and subjugated the community to this pollution (photos attached). This should be of grave concern to the Hyatt since it not only ultimately harms the future prospects of your business but also exposes Hyatt to legal liability and bad press back in the home countries of your concerned guests. It is unbelievable in this day in age that Hyatt acts in this manner; it is 2009, not 1809!! Wake up!!

We insist and will continue to insist through letters, emails and other means (iReports, Youtube, travel blogs and website reviews, and journalists) that Hyatt abide by your own internal environmental/sustainability policy as well as local laws. We hope you take this matter very seriously, as we do.

Respectfully Yours,

Friends of Bali
