Forbes & Walker Tea Brokers & Warehousing Secure Carbon Neutral Certification 📈
• Key Milestone: Forbes and Walker Tea Brokers Ltd. (Sri Lanka’s largest tea broker) and Forbes and Walker Warehousing Ltd. have officially achieved Carbon Neutral Certification. • The Mechanism: The certification was awarded by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund Ltd. after successfully quantifying, verifying, and offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via the Forbes and Walker Rooftop Solar Project. • Strategic Context: The move directly aligns with increasingly stringent environmental and sustainability compliance laws in global export markets, particularly the European Union (EU) regulations regarding packaging, waste management, green claims, and recyclability. • Economic & Supply Chain Impact: As a major intermediary in the tea industry, the group's carbon-neutral status helps extend sustainable practices across the supply chain, linking carbon-neutral producers with international buyers and strengthening Sri Lanka's positioning in global supply chains.
