In this issue, themed For the Earth and the largest in TK’s ten-year history, we celebrate the work that chefs, winemakers, entrepreneurs and other innovators are doing to create a more sustainable future. Sometimes the roots of commitment go deep. Richard Ekkebus, the star of our cover story and one of Asia’s leading champions of Sustainability, grew up in rural Holland with a Greenpeace-loving artist mom and an engineer father. Today he combines those childhood threads of passion and rigor to drive one of the most ambitiously sustainable hotel operations in Asia.
