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.
