AGENTS | Safari Firelighters and Braai Products | George, Western Cape, South Africa | Firelighters, Charcoal, Briquettes, Fire Wood

The sustainability of the use of renewable resources is the core focus of our environmental policy. Safari fully supports all environmental concerns raised pertaining to our industry. We have an environmental management plan in place to reduceenergy consumption and to optimize the usage of raw materials.

We are currently running projects in the Southern Cape region where we are eradicating alien trees from catchment areas to improve water run-off into rivers and dams. All usable wood is recycled into charcoal and braai wood. We currently support six independent contractors who make a livelihood from this ‘recycling’ of alien wood.

We support clean-up projects with schools to promote a cleaner and hygienic living environment for all. We also have a paper-recycling programme in place where all funds are donated to schools.

The increasing demand for ‘green’ products has brought up the design of the New Safari Fire Stix firelighter. It is manufactured from recycled wood dust, wax and a wick. It is very safe to light and burns for approximately 18 minutes. It has no smell and is environmentally friendly which makes it ideal for campers and back-packers.

We recognize our duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practical, that the environment will not be damaged by our operations, manufacturing of green braai products and will co-operate fully with the authorities to meet statutory, legal and other obligations.

We consider Environmental Management as integral part of our Integrated Management System, and aim to:

Minimise the environmental impact of our activities
Control any threats of pollution from our activities
Utilise natural resources rationally and prudently
Comply with all relevant environmental legislation & Other requirements
Procure raw materials from environmentally friendly suppliers
Maintain and optimize our Management System, awareness of environmental issues within our organisation, our responsibilities and our Environmental Policy which we will review annually
Our Policy will always be communicated to all, be available to the public and interested parties.
