Asia Siyaka Warehousing Ltd., (ASW), Sri Lanka’s leading tea auction logistics service provider, has achieved a significant global milestone by becoming the world’s first tea logistics company to be awarded ZeroCarbon certification, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability, operational excellence, and responsible supply chain management The ZeroCarbon certification, granted by Sustainable Future Group (SFG).
This achievement positions ASW as a benchmark organisation within the global tea logistics sector.
SFG recognises organisations that have comprehensively measured their greenhouse gas emissions, implemented effective emission reduction strategies, and offset residual emissions in line with internationally accepted carbon-neutral standards.
In addition to ZeroCarbon certification, Asia Siyaka’s purpose-built warehouse facility is also LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, making it the first tea logistics facility globally to hold both LEED and ZeroCarbon credentials. The company has further strengthened its compliance framework by obtaining ISO 22000 food safety certification, reinforcing its commitment to quality, safety, and international best practices.
The certification process involved a rigorous evaluation of Asia Siyaka’s environmental impact across its operations, including energy usage, resource efficiency, and emissions management. The company has implemented multiple sustainability initiatives and supported verified environmental offset programs to achieve full carbon neutrality.
This milestone delivers tangible value across the tea industry value chain by enabling producers, brokers, and exporters to reduce logistics-related emissions while enhancing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Asia Siyaka’s ZeroCarbon operations also support international buyers seeking greater transparency, traceability, and sustainability assurance within their sourcing processes. ASW, a fully owned subsidiary of Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC, continues to invest in innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence, reinforcing Sri Lanka’s position as a global leader in responsible tea logistics and strengthening the long-term competitiveness of Ceylon Tea in international markets. Strategically located at Muthurajawela, Wattala, the logistics hub of Sri Lanka and close proximity to Colombo Port, ASW has 240,000 square feet spread over 6 acres of land with 29,000 pallet positions with a holding capacity of 11 million kilograms of tea at any given time.
