Sustainability at BATIC 2024: Planting the Seeds of a Greener Future
BATIC 2024 is poised to make a significant impact in the realm of sustainability, setting new standards for environmental responsibility within the telecommunications and information technology sectors. This year’s theme, "Cultivating the Sustainable Digital Ecosystem", emphasizes the event’s commitment to nurturing innovation and promoting conscious progress aligned with environmental principles.
Aligning with Global Sustainability Goals
In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), BATIC 2024 focuses on several critical areas:
These goals provide a framework for BATIC’s initiatives, ensuring that the event not only addresses current environmental challenges but also sets the stage for sustainable development in the future.
Comprehensive Waste Management Ecosystem
One of the cornerstone initiatives of BATIC 2024 is the establishment of a comprehensive waste management ecosystem. This initiative encompasses:
- Waste Management Vision and Mission: Developing clear objectives and strategies for waste reduction and management.
- Waste Management Education and Assistance: Providing participants with the knowledge and tools needed to engage in sustainable practices.
- Waste Management Hierarchy: Implementing the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste.
- Waste Processing and Management: Ensuring that all waste is processed and managed in an environmentally responsible manner.
Tri Hita Karana: A Holistic Approach
BATIC 2024 partners with sustainability community to integrate the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana into its waste management vision.
Tri Hita Karana, a traditional Balinese concept, promotes harmony and balance between three elements:
- Parahyangan (God): Spiritual well-being and harmony with the divine.
- Pawongan (Humans): Social well-being and harmonious relationships among people.
- Palemahan (Environment): Environmental well-being and a balanced relationship with nature.
Participant Involvement in Waste Management
To ensure active participant engagement, we will provide special-designed trash bins to categorizes waste into three distinct types:
- Red and White: Hazardous waste and paper waste
- Green: Organic waste
- Black: General waste
Clear categorization facilitates easier waste segregation and enhances the effectiveness of recycling efforts.
We invite everyone to join the #DigitalSustainability Journey at BATIC 2024 to embark on a journey towards digital sustainability. Scheduled from August 27-30 at The Westin Resort, this event promises to be a groundbreaking platform for innovation, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. By participating, attendees will not only gain insights into the latest technological advancements but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
Together, we can plant the seeds of sustainability and foster a more resilient planet for generations to come.
