• Local and Organic Purchasing – When purchasing, priority is given to local, Fairtrade and organic suppliers e.g. Sayan uses organic sea salt from a social cooperative in North Bali and sustainable coconut oil from a local family initiative that grows the coconuts and makes oil with zero waste traditional methods. The coconut husks are used as fuel for cooking, and Sokasi Chef’s Table dinner includes fish marinated in klengis, a rare ingredient that is a by-product of the coconut oil production
