Corporate Social Responsibility
Planned Housing for Employees
Plantation employees are provided, at no cost, detached
housing units with individual plots of land - creating safer and
more sustainable living conditions for their families.
Welfare Shops and Market
Employee-managed welfare shops, located near the
plantations, provide an outlet for plantation employees to sell
self-crafted artisanal items. 100% of the pro ts go directly to
the employees - providing an additional source of income to
employees and their families.
Comprehensive Medical Checks
All employees are assigned periodic medical checks, with
specialized medical consults (i.e. eye checks, cardiovascular
checks etc.) provided regularly. Our management teams also follow
up on the prescriptions issued during these consults, ensuring they
are ful lled.
Vocational Training Programs
Comprehensive life-skill training happens regularly for our
employees across all our operations, on various disciplines
such as English language, vocational training, and soft-skill
development
Child Development Centers
Child development centers located within our plantations, provide day care
and schooling for children of employees. Catered at no cost, our award-
winning initiative offers children education up to the Primary-level, at which
time they join the public school network.
Bene ts of this scheme are two-fold, as this also affords families the option
of having both parents working, which essentially doubles the income of the
family unit.
Safe Water Supply Programs
In addition to housing, we also have successfully completed
water supply programs that have provided clean and safe water
for our plantation employees and their homes.
Infrastructure Redevelopment Projects
We also work with local councils on infrastructure
development projects, including the refurbishment of Sri
Lanka's longest motor able chain and wood suspensions
bridge, helping connect remote villages to the wider road
network of the region.
