«Our thoughts, words and day-to-day actions paint the world around us.»
Everything we do—from our carefully selected ingredients and environmental initiatives to our social responsibilities—is rooted in compassion and sustainability.
We work hard and smart for the good of our guests, our team, and our community. We proudly support local organisations, producers, and farmers who offer high-quality products and are committed to the healthy and safe development of Cambodia.
We are deeply mindful of our impact on the environment. Our commitment to providing young adults with a better future naturally includes reducing our environmental footprint and helping to sustain a healthy planet.
1. Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Whenever we have a choice, we apply these four Rs to everything we do:
Plastic Reduction & Policies: Wherever possible, we have eliminated single-use plastic. Our take-away containers and cutlery are 100% biodegradable, we only use reusable metal straws, and we serve table water in refillable glass bottles. We also enforce a strict internal plastic-free policy across our entire team: everyone is provided with reusable bottles and bags, and single-use plastic brought in from outside (such as takeaway iced coffee cups) is strictly prohibited.
Resource Conservation: We minimise our water and electricity consumption, treating water as the precious natural resource it is, and using energy-efficient lighting throughout our space.
Waste Management: We carefully separate all waste, with organic waste going to local pig farmers.
Circular Initiatives: For many years, we donated our used cooking oil to Naga Earth, who recycled it into biodiesel that we bought back to power our generator. Although Naga Earth closed during the pandemic, we remain proud of this circular partnership and continue to seek new eco-friendly recycling solutions.
2. Local and Responsible Sourcing
We prioritise using fresh, locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and ingredients from reliable local suppliers and farmers.
Beyond our supply chain, we place immense value on collaborating with local social enterprises and NGOs who share our commitment to creating a socially and environmentally better world.
3. Education & Awareness
«The most important task, if we are to save the earth, is to educate.»
Sir Peter Scott, Co-Founder of the WWF
We continuously train our HAVEN Family, sharing the purpose and importance of sustainable practices, while encouraging and supporting them to apply these principles at home and in their daily lives.
