Casino not gambling on the future of our planet

Emperors Palace continues putting environmental practices in place to diminish their impact on the environment as well as to help the ailing infrastructure the local metro is battling to maintain.

The latest project was the ambitious construction of a water reservoir on the property complete with 13 boreholes.
“The reservoir is a state-of-the-art structure that looks like a big money vault, but it contains something a lot more precious,” said Peermont maintenance manager, Jannie Roos, who spearheaded the project since 2023.

“Emperors Palace can utilise up to 800 000 litres of water a day, which is equivalent to about 5 300 bathtubs being filled up.
“However, with the implementation of our onsite boreholes and a water reservoir, we’ll have a storage capacity of 2.9 million litres.”
In addition, there is a fire reservoir of 600 000 litres.

Other greening projects undertaken:
• 13 000 solar panels that generate over 3 424 kWh, which is enough to power 180 houses.
• The resort recycles hundreds of square meters of waste annually, diverting substantial amounts from landfills. With a recycling programme currently achieving a 60% waste diversion rate,

Emperors Palace is making significant strides in reducing CO² emissions, water and energy consumption.
• An organic composter industrial waste machine converts all organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. The compost is donated to local golf courses to successfully sustain their fairways with rich organic matter.
2023 in numbers:
• 2 033 958 kWh in energy was conserved
• 1 593 trees were saved
• 2 448 908 litres of water saved
• 279 856 m² in CO² emissions reduced.
