Lepa Lepa Resort: Championing Sustainability and Community

Lepa Lepa Resort goes beyond offering stunning accommodations; they’re dedicated to sustainable practices and empowering the surrounding community. Here’s a glimpse into our commendable Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts.

Committed to Sustainable Luxury

At Lepa Lepa Resort, luxury meets sustainability. We are dedicated to preserving the pristine environment of Sabah while offering our guests an unforgettable experience. Here’s a glimpse into our comprehensive sustainability efforts.

Building Green

Lepa Lepa’s construction and operations are guided by Malaysian Green Building Index (GBI) and USGBC LEED Certification, leading green building rating systems, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

We prioritize the use of natural and locally sourced building materials that minimize environmental impact. From eco-friendly cleaning supplies to biodegradable amenities, every detail is chosen with sustainability in mind.

Our construction practices are meticulously monitored to minimize disruption to the surrounding reef, mangroves, and wildlife.

Energy Efficiency

We utilize a combination of renewable energy sources like solar power for reliable backup.

Our computerized load management system optimizes energy usage through measures like automatic room shut-offs and efficient compressor operation.

We embrace natural ventilation, energy-saving LED lighting, solar films, and reflective roofs to further reduce our carbon footprint.

Sustainable
Transportation


We minimize our environmental impact on land and water with electric and hybrid vehicles, including boat tenders, eco-friendly yachts, and Range Rovers.

Water Conservation

Our low-energy desalination system utilizes solar power, minimizing the environmental impact of water production.
We collect rainwater from rooftops to reduce reliance on treated water. We implement a greywater reuse system for non-potable applications, further conserving precious resources.

Protecting Paradise

We have a comprehensive program in place to eliminate any harmful waste discharge into the surrounding environment. We continuously monitor the health of the reefs, oceans, and mangroves, implementing cleaning and emergency plans whenever necessary. We actively participate in coral and mangrove replanting projects, ensuring the long-term health of these vital ecosystems.

Circular Economy

We recycle a wide range of materials like paper, glass, wood, and plastics, minimizing waste and promoting a circular economy. All organic waste and water treatment sludge are composted, creating a valuable nutrient source for our gardens.

At Lepa Lepa Resort, we believe true luxury extends beyond our overwater villas and pristine surroundings. It’s about fostering a deep connection with the land, its people, and its rich cultural heritage. Here’s how we’re committed to cultural sustainability:
