Sustainability spotlight: The Vineyard, our AGM venue that shares our values
As we prepare for our Global AGM in Cape Town, we’re proud to shine a light on our host venue - The Vineyard Hotel - a place that perfectly reflects our shared commitment to responsible growth, sustainability, and community.

Located on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, The Vineyard blends timeless charm with forward-thinking environmental practices. Over the past two centuries, it has evolved into one of Cape Town’s most progressive hotels, proof that tradition and innovation can thrive side by side.
Leading the way in sustainable hospitality
The Vineyard’s approach to sustainability runs deep. As a certified member of Fair Trade Tourism, the hotel champions ethical practices that support both people and the planet.
Their environmental initiatives are as impressive as they are inspiring. The property is partly powered by 148 solar panels, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Through greywater harvesting systems, the hotel conserves precious water, a vital resource in Cape Town’s climate. And with 90% of all waste recycled, The Vineyard is setting new benchmarks for sustainable hotel operations.
Beyond its infrastructure, The Vineyard is actively involved in environmental partnerships, including the Event Greening Forum and Friends of the Liesbeek, contributing to broader conservation efforts across the region.

Eight acres of natural beauty
Set within eight acres of lush gardens, the hotel grounds are home to a vibrant ecosystem of native flora and fauna. Guests can often spot birdlife, tranquil streams, and even the hotel’s much-loved resident tortoises, who have become charming ambassadors of its eco-friendly ethos.
Their presence is a delightful reminder that sustainability is not just about technology or certification, it’s about nurturing the natural world that surrounds us. Read more about The Vineyard’s tortoises here. 🐢
