Sustainable Materials
Using sustainable and healthy products, such as those with low embodied energy, sourced locally, and made from renewable or waste resources.
This principle applies to every material resource we use in our business – from items used in daily operations to construction materials for new lodges. We strive to procure locally, not only to reduce carbon miles but also to support local economies. We are conscious of the environmental impact of the materials used in the resources that support our operations. An example of this is the group-wide rollout of a local, organic and environmentally friendly range of in-room guest toiletries to replace the previous imported, non-organic brand.

SustainabilityConservation Partner
The Long Run
Singita’s sustainability partner – The Long Run – have worked at the intersection of nature conservation and sustainable tourism since 2009 and are rooted in the vision that tourism can create lasting prosperity for people living on a healthy, resilient planet. Long Run members understand the delicate balance and connection between human and natural ecosystems and how they co-exist. They advocate for innovative solutions and collaborative action to harness tourism as a force for good. The Long Run partners with leading organisations to shape the agenda and inspire nature-positive climate action and holistic sustainable tourism, worldwide.
The Long Run's 4C sustainability framework comprises four sections: Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce. These four are then further broken down to detailed subject areas for Singita’s specific context. These sustainability principles are critical to the fulfilment of Singita’s 100-year purpose and impact goals for 2030, and continue the good work fulfilled during the One Planet Living membership.
Singita Kruger National Park became an official Long Run Fellow in 2024. All other Singita properties will align with the 4C methodology and become fellows of the programme over the next few years.
