Alila SCBD Jakarta, renowned for its dedication to luxury hospitality and eco-conscious tourism nestled within Jakarta’s esteemed SCBD enclave, is delighted to unveil its partnership with Giving Bag. Founded by Quinn Cox and Lilia Karimi, Giving Bag is an inventive charitable enterprise. Together, they strive to bolster local communities through sustainable initiatives and furnish vital resources to the less fortunate.
Alila SCBD Jakarta Announces Collaboration with Giving Bag
As the Cofounder and CEO of Giving Bag, Quinn expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are proud to deepen our relationship with Hyatt in expanding the adoption of Giving Bag to Alila brand hotels across the world. The passion and creativity our partners bring to this initiative help to further reinforce the meaningful positive impact it can have on local communities as well as our environment by helping connect gently used items with those in need rather than unnecessarily going to landfill.”
Renowned for its innovative approach to tackling social and environmental challenges through recycling and redistribution, Giving Bag has earned acclaim. The collaboration focus lies on waste reduction and sustainability promotion through the repurposing of goods received from hotel guests. Items including gently used linens, toiletries, and various materials will be donated for distribution among local communities in need.
Both Alila SCBD Jakarta and Giving Bag share a steadfast commitment to enriching the well-being of local communities. Through this partnership, they aspire to orchestrate community outreach programs, encompassing workshops on sustainable living and educational endeavors tailored for underprivileged groups. Additionally, the hotel collaborates with State 24 Vocational High School in East Jakarta, where students within the institution recycle unused bed sheets and pillowcases to create the bags.
Alasdair Davidson, General Manager of Alila SCBD Jakarta added, "This partnership with Giving Bag aligns perfectly with our commitment to responsible tourism and sustainability. We are excited to work with Quinn and his team to create meaningful change in our community."
In the comfort of their rooms at Alila SCBD Jakarta, guests will find branded "Giving Bags" where they can place gently worn or unwanted belongings. Upon checkout, returning these items to the Alila SCBD Jakarta front desk team constitutes a charitable donation, with the items subsequently given to local foundations. By participating in this initiative, visitors can enrich their stay at Alila SCBD Jakarta while also contributing to a meaningful cause, experiencing the gratification of giving back.
