BRAHMAN HILLS WINS TOP BUSINESS GREEN AWARD

Brahman Hills has once again been honoured with the Renewable Efficiency & Green Initiatives Award at the KZN Top Business Awards, marking its second consecutive win in the category. The recognition reflects the work already taking place across the property, where Brahman Hills invests in renewable energy, manages water responsibly, reduces waste and protects biodiversity.

Sustainability is woven into the daily rhythm of how the property operates, grows and welcomes its guests. Food waste is transformed into nourishment for the soil, water is carefully collected, recycled and returned to the gardens, and bees support the living ecosystems that make the property a sanctuary for people and nature.

Brahman Hills operates 85% off-grid through solar energy, saves about 477 tonnes of CO2 annually, harvests rainwater, recycles grey water, composts over 1200 kg of organic waste each year (sourced from kraal manure and food byproducts) and mulches its organic gardens with a combination of chicken litter and recycled leaves. In addition, it has:

*replaced over 36 000 plastic bottles with glass alternatives;

*reduced guest room water usage by up to 50% through water saving showers;

*planted more than 1500 trees;

*established 12 handcrafted, Zulu hut-inspired beehives that support biodiversity.

This long-term commitment is also shaping the Serenity Garden, a 22-hectare conservation,wellness and eco-tourism project currently under development at Brahman Hills. At its heart will be what is expected to become the world’s largest labyrinth, creating a landmark space for reconnecting with nature. The development is designed to strengthen biodiversity, support pollinator populations and create lasting environmental value.
