Sustainability

Luxury hospitality with a conscience

At Anantara Royal Livingstone, we are dedicated to preserving luxury and reducing our carbon footprint for future generations. Recycling, waste reduction, and responsible leisure are at the heart of our practices. Get to know our sustainability initiatives and stay with peace of mind.

SUSTAINABILITY BROCHURE

Beekeeping project

Our resort serves fresh honey sourced via a project we started with a female-led cooperative in Mukuni village. The project’s aim is to promote food security and support rural livelihoods as well as supporting sustainable beekeeping practices. The delicious honey comes from beehives made by our resort maintenance staff in cooperation with Zambia Forest College’s teaching staff.

ENQUIRE

Pack for a Purpose

We support this global initiative that encourages travellers to make a lasting impact on communities by donating to local schools or medical clinics. The Royal Livingstone invites guests to join our resort’s partnership with Linda Community School. The school provides education to around 470 children, mainly orphans, selected by community members. Enquire how you can get involved.

Pink Envelope Project

Through this project, we offer herbal infused wellness waters made by local women at our Anantara Spa. Used spa towels and newly purchased linens are also donated to support the womens’ business of producing and selling reusable sanitary towels.

Replacing plastic use

We partner with bottleless water company Vivreau to significantly reduce our plastic use. By placing sealed glass water bottles in all rooms and doing away with plastic water bottles in conferencing facilities, we aim to reduce our carbon footprints as much as possible.

Sustainable garden

Our on-site garden is grown in partnership with the Ebenezer Child Care Trust orphanage. In the future, the hotel plans to purchase a sustainable and continuous supply of fresh vegetables and herbs from Ebenezer here.

Textile production

Minor Hotels Zambia partners with local ladies to tie-dye used hotel linen and donate it to the hospitals, clinics, seniors’ homes and orphanages.

Youth empowerment programme

The Royal Livingstone also partners with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (SHA), a charity dedicated to youth employment, environment action and human rights protection. The programme was designed in consultation with SHA and SOS Children’s Village Livingstone, a non-profit family centre, to bring opportunities and education to deserving youth.
