Fashionably Sustainable at Sandton City
Come to the City committed to Sustainability
In celebration of their continued commitment to sustainability, Sandton City invites the public to experience an innovative and visually thought-provoking Fashion Exhibition: Fashion Reimagined.
Taking place in Sandton City’s Diamond Walk, until Sunday the 18th of April; this is a Fashion Exhibition with a twist, as all designs are focused around sustainability.
The exhibition is designed to awaken the imagination and allow for personal introspection, particularly in relation to how one is personally contributing to sustainability, or not…

The Fashion Reimagined Exhibition follows closely on the heels of the announcement of Sandton City being awarded a 6-Green Star Rating for Existing Building Performance; by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA).
This is the first super-regional mall on the African continent to achieve this prestigious rating, representing world leadership in environmentally sustainable operational efficiencies.
Another one of Sandton City’s continued sustainability efforts includes housing two Recycling Vending Machines – located on Level 4, near Clicks and on Parking Level 7, near the Protea Court. These machines efficiently recycle plastic, metal and glass; and turn them into recyclable waste. In return, the recycler receives points on the Imagined Earth app. An impressive new addition to these machines, is that the points accumulated can now be used towards the purchasing shares on the JSE.
Sandton City is committed to its long-term sustainability goals and initiatives; and consumers can feel proud to play their part in contributing to a reduction in their environmental footprint, by shopping, dining and visiting Sandton City.
