Clean Water and Sanitation

Sustainable Development Goal 6

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.

VOYA

As at February 2024, 1,850,398 plastic bottles prevented from entering the ocean.

VOYA is partnering with Plastic Bank to support their mission to stop plastic before it enters the ocean. The equivalent of one rubbish truck full of plastic enters the ocean every minute, and by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish*. We are proud to have made several commitments as part of our Ocean Steward partnership with Plastic Bank and over the next two years, VOYA has pledged to help stop the equivalent of over 2 million single-use plastic bottles from entering the ocean. This is equivalent to over 45,000 kg of plastic and means for every VOYA product sold, we will help to prevent 3 plastic bottles from entering the ocean. *Source: Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Mangrove Conservation

At Dilmah we are restoring a 25- acre mangrove forest in Kappal Adi Kite Lagoon in Kalpitiya. Dilmah has invested in an extensive mangrove plant nursery nurturing over saplings across 7 species. The use of science-based planting techniques have ensured an above average success rate in all planting activities that have been completed since its inception in October 2022. A baseline survey has recorded 62 native plant species including mangrove species and 144 species of wildlife including many birds, butterflies, and reptile species.

Dilmah

Climate Forward

A youth-focused initiative by Dilmah Conservation and Genesis, launched alongside the Code Red Sri Lanka Climate Summit to transform high-level climate discussions into action. With over 80 applicants, the program empowered undergraduates and postgraduates to develop innovative, climate-smart business ideas in key sectors such as smart agriculture, energy, mobility, water conservation, and green infrastructure. The primary objective of "Climate Forward" was to empower the next generation of Sri Lankan leaders by inviting undergraduates and postgraduates from across the nation to conceptualize and develop climate-smart solutions and viable business ideas. The program specifically sought to address the prevailing climate challenges facing Sri Lanka, recognizing that young minds possess immense potential for innovative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit. The program saw significant interest, receiving over 80 applications. A selection process was undertaken by an expert panel comprising professors and industry specialists, ultimately narrowing down the field to 10 finalists. These selected participants were then provided with valuable expert advice and specialized training to further develop their climate-focused business concepts.
