📈 HUTCH Launches Sri Lanka’s First Sustainability-Centric Retail Spaces

HUTCH Sri Lanka has introduced its new "Signature" retail concept, marking the first time sustainability has been holistically integrated into the country's telecommunications retail landscape. The initiative aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the global commitments of parent company CK Hutchison Holdings. • Strategic Expansion: Launched two flagship outlets—Signature+ at Colombo Fort (business hub) and a Signature outlet in Negombo, with more locations planned nationwide. • Green Infrastructure: Outlets are built using 90% repurposed materials and sustainable sourcing, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of retail expansion. • Energy & Circularity: The spaces are powered by renewable wind and solar energy. They feature dedicated e-waste collection points to promote the responsible disposal of communication devices. • Value Creation: Beyond service points, these outlets function as education centers, providing curated facts and illustrations to foster environmental stewardship among the public. The ICT/BPM and telecommunications sectors continue to lead in corporate responsibility, with HUTCH setting a new benchmark for "responsible growth" by transforming retail infrastructure into long-term investments for the country’s future.
