Hemas Consumer Brands spearheads environmental stewardship across the Island

Hemas Consumer Brands, a pioneering force in the consumer goods sector, maintains its forefront position in promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility throughout Sri Lanka. Through a series of innovative endeavours and strategic partnerships, the company is actively advancing towards a more eco-friendly and sustainable future. At the core of these efforts lies the company’s Group Environmental Agenda 2030, focusing on responsible consumption practices, safeguarding our ecosystem and protecting our natural Resources.

Recognizing the pivotal role of mangrove ecosystems in coastal protection and marine biodiversity, the company joined forces with the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) to spearhead mangrove regeneration efforts in Anawilundawa. By nurturing these invaluable ecosystems, Hemas Consumer Brands is actively contributing to the conservation of coastal habitats and the protection of marine life. This significant contribution was recently acknowledged with Sri Lanka receiving the prestigious UN Decade of Restoration Flagship Award for 2024.

One of the key initiatives under this agenda is protecting natural resources, starting with the ambitious plan to reforest and sustain over 1,000 acres of land by 2030. In collaboration with Rainforest Protectors, Hemas Consumer Brands has embarked on a mission to restore 15 acres of forest land in Balangoda. This initiative is a proactive step towards combating deforestation and promoting sustainable land management practices, recognizing the critical importance of preserving natural habitats and biodiversity.
