On a quest to minimise and mitigate the impact of its operations on the environment, Ex-pack Corrugated Cartons Ltd., the premier corrugated carton manufacturer in Sri Lanka catering to both local and export markets and a subsidiary of Aberdeen Holdings Ltd., joined hands with coenergi Ltd.  

As an independent specialist provider of sustainable and resource efficient designs, coenergi will assist Ex-pack in this journey towards sustainability with a highly sensible, innovative, and legally compliant approach. Being in the manufacturing sector and utilising heavy machinery, it is always a challenge to control the immediate and wider environmental impact. However, the unwavering commitment towards sustainability and continuous improvement programs, has enabled Ex-pack to implement numerous energy conservation programs to meaningfully offset its impact on the environment.  

Chairman Sattar Kassim said that Ex-pack was committed towards preserving the environment and has very recently embarked on obtaining LEED and Carbon Neutral Certification for their factory in Sapugaskanda, pledging allegiance in being a responsible corporate as a partner and a key contributor in the fight against climate change and biodiversity. 

The company has taken the pledge to become Carbon Neutral by 2022.
