Boardpac awarded Carbon Neutral Certification for second year
Boardpac has earned the Carbon Neutral Certificate for 2022 from the Sri Lanka Climate Fund (SLCF).
For the second consecutive year, Boardpac has secured this certification by offsetting its Organization Level Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, after being audited to the specifications of the ISO 14064 - 1:2018 standard.
To-date, Boardpac has assisted clients from over 40 countries in transforming their board meetings into efficient, eco-friendly processes, resulting in the preservation of more than 16,000 trees per annum on average.
Founder and Executive Director, Lakmini Wijesundera, commended this achievement and added, “We enable boards of large corporations and global banks, including Forbes Global 2000 companies, to have a paperless and secure method of conducting meetings and maintaining records. Currently, there is a global shift in focus towards ESG and making their corporations sustainable. As a facilitator in that process, we felt it was important to be carbon-neutral ourselves.”
Over the past years, Boardpac has worked to further its commitment to sustainability with various initiatives. These include maintaining a paperless office environment and enabling remote work for employees, thus reducing overall fuel consumption.
Another commendable initiative is the company’s tree planting programme, where new seedlings are planted in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to promote the long-term growth of urban forests helping to generate oxygen for future generations to come. Additionally, Boardpac operates a dedicated CSR team, focused on waste reduction. Each month, waste, including food, plastic, and paper, is measured, and every employee strives to minimize waste, contributing to a better environment.
The Carbon Neutral Certification bestowed upon Boardpac is a well-deserved recognition of its unwavering commitment to sustainability. This achievement would not have been possible without the wholehearted participation of Boardpac’s employees, whose dedication to this cause is truly commendable. It reflects the company’s core values and its ongoing mission to champion sustainability on a global scale.
