It is important to point out that part of the annual profit of the structure goes to BEST Society, a non-profit organization responsible for all the community and environmental work that the Sakau Rainforest Lodge puts in place. In addition, the Lodge established a research centre called the Sakau Ecotourism Research Centre with the aim of supporting and promoting responsible and sustainable practices in businesses and communities in the Kinabatangan area through the use of the research data provided.
