Forbes and Walker Tea Brokers Ltd., Sri Lanka’s largest tea broker, and Forbes and Walker Warehousing Ltd., a logistics and warehousing provider, have been awarded Carbon Neutral Certification by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund Ltd., reinforcing the group’s commitment to environmental stewardship, responsible business practices and sustainable value creation.
The certification recognises the successful quantification, verification and offsetting of the organisations’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the Forbes and Walker Rooftop Solar Project. It also reflects the Group’s efforts to reduce its environmental footprint while aligning with internationally recognised sustainability standards.
The achievement comes as global markets place increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental compliance. Forbes and Walker said it remains committed to investing in initiatives that support climate action while delivering long-term value to stakeholders.
The certification also comes at a time when Sri Lankan exporters face increasingly stringent sustainability and environmental requirements in international markets, particularly in the European Union.
Recent regulatory developments covering packaging, waste management, green claims, recyclability and product sustainability are expected to have significant implications for exporters.
By adopting measurable sustainability practices, Forbes and Walker said it is better positioned to meet evolving regulatory requirements while strengthening its role within international supply chains.
As an intermediary between carbon neutral producers and buyers, the company said it helps extend sustainability practices across the supply chain, creating a pathway for responsibly produced tea.
Forbes and Walker said it remains focused on advancing initiatives that reduce emissions, promote renewable energy and support Sri Lanka’s transition towards a low-carbon economy.
