The resort was recognized for its social and environmental programs as a “Most Admired ASEAN Enterprise” under the Corporate Social Responsibility award category for SMEs (Small-Medium Enterprises). The award recognizes admired ASEAN businesses in four areas: growth, employment, innovation and CSR. This award is unique because unlike previous awards received by the resort, this was regional and those applying for the award came from the various ASEAN countries. The criteria for the award was also heavily focused on not just the environmental impact, but also contributions to the community and society.
