On Saturday, December 7th, Kaltimber had the honor of attending The Punch Community Gala, held at the acclaimed Locavore NXT restaurant in Ubud, Bali. The event brought together trailblazing businesses and organizations committed to driving positive change. 

As always, it was a night of inspiration, meaningful connections, and a shared commitment to making the world a better place.  Kaltimber was represented at the event by its CEO, Guillaume Carnevale.

A Nomination to Celebrate

Kaltimber was thrilled to be nominated in the category of "Solution-Based Supplier of the Year", a recognition that highlights suppliers who play a critical role in helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals.  

This category celebrates suppliers who go beyond providing quality materials, offering solutions that empower businesses on their journey toward environmental and social responsibility. For Kaltimber, this nomination was a reflection of our mission to reclaim and repurpose Kalimantan's best hardwoods, proving that eco-friendly decking and flooring can be a cornerstone of sustainable development. We weren’t lost at Locavore to see our products, because both decking and rustic stools were featured from this past client.

While we didn’t take home the award, the experience was a win in itself. Being acknowledged alongside other outstanding companies reinforced our belief that sustainable business practices are not just possible but essential.  And Locavore  NXT being an amazing venue, we had the chance to taste fantastic food!

The Power of a Like-Minded Community

The Punch Community is more than an organization—it’s a movement that unites businesses determined to create meaningful change. As its name suggests, it packs a punch by proving that economic growth and environmental care can thrive together.  

The gala was a testament to this ethos. From reconnecting with familiar faces to meeting new allies in sustainability, the evening underscored the importance of collaboration. Everyone in attendance shared a commitment to the triple bottom line: caring for the planet, its people, and building financially sustainable enterprises.  

A Shared Drive to Keep Pushing Forward

At Kaltimber, we know that working toward sustainability can feel overwhelming at times. The challenges are immense, and the work is ongoing. That’s why events like The Punch Community Gala are so vital—they remind us that we’re not in this alone.  

The collective energy and shared purpose of the community are a powerful motivator to keep innovating, improving, and driving positive outcomes for the environment and future generations.  

Looking Ahead

While we didn’t win the award this time, we left the event with something even more valuable: a renewed sense of purpose and numerous meaningful connections. These relationships will undoubtedly play a role in shaping our future efforts and collaborations.  

We are deeply grateful to The Punch Community for creating a platform that celebrates businesses making a difference. Kaltimber is proud to be part of this movement and will continue to champion sustainability in everything we do.  

Here’s to building a world where economic growth and environmental care are not just compatible but inseparable.
