Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Six Degrees Off Grid, sustainability is the foundation of everything we do. From day one, we’ve focused on creating a self-sufficient, eco-friendly sanctuary that minimises our environmental footprint while empowering the local community. Our goal is to offer guests an unforgettable experience while preserving the natural beauty of Sulawesi.
Here are some of the key initiatives that guide our sustainability efforts:
100% Solar Power
Our eco-lodge operates entirely on solar energy, with no reliance on backup generators, ensuring a clean, renewable power source that significantly reduces our carbon footprint.
Fruit and Vegetable Gardens
We cultivate an expanding variety of fruits and vegetables in our permaculture-inspired gardens, promoting sustainable agriculture and providing fresh, local produce for our guests.
Waste-Free Living
By using composting toilets and implementing organic waste composting, we turn waste into valuable compost, reducing landfill waste and enriching our gardens.
Plastic-Free Environment
While it’s nearly impossible to be entirely plastic-free in this region, we are committed to reducing plastic waste by using only reusable alternatives, protecting both the planet and its marine life. Any non-biodegradable waste is disposed of as responsibly as possible.
Rainwater Harvesting
Our rainwater harvesting system allows us to collect and store water, ensuring that we use this vital resource responsibly and minimize our environmental impact.
Beyond these core initiatives, we also prioritise:
Community Engagement
We engage actively with the local community, offering informal educational programs on sustainability and working to inspire positive change throughout the region.
Eco-Friendly Construction
Our lodge is built with eco-friendly materials and sustainable construction techniques, seamlessly blending with the environment. We use locally sourced palm leaves for thatching and wood from sustainable sources, including natural tree-fall and driftwood from the beach.
Supporting Local Economies
We support the local economy by sourcing all supplies, materials, and labor locally, reducing our environmental impact from transportation while strengthening the community.
At Six Degrees Off Grid, sustainability is more than just a practice—it’s a way of life. We’re dedicated to offering a responsible, memorable experience that fosters a positive impact on both the environment and the local community.
