At the heart of our mission lies a deep commitment to sustainability, reflecting our belief that business success should go hand in hand with environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic resilience. As the world faces increasingly unpredictable climate patterns, the need for sustainable practices has never been more urgent. In Sri Lanka, where our operations are based, we have observed firsthand the impact of climate change, from shifting fruit seasons to unusual rainfall. This awareness drives our dedication to environmental, social, and economic sustainability across all aspects of our business.
Social
As a female-led organization, we take pride in being the first factory in the region to implement equal pay. Historically, female workers were compensated less than their male counterparts for identical work, solely due to gender. At our organization, compensation is determined by the role rather than gender. We are also committed to upholding a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, inequality, regardless of race or gender.
Environmental
The weather patterns shown by countries across the world in the last few years show that the effects of climate change are very much a current discussion and not just a consequence that may happen in the future. In Sri Lanka itself, we have noted changes in fruit picking seasons and unusual rainfall. We feel that coconut coir as a soil substitute is a great sustainable product as it is produced from a waste product of coconut harvesting. We have ensured energy efficiency in all our manufacturing processes, and we are in the process of procuring solar panels which will ensure our GrowBags are produced with minimal use of fossil fuels (fossil fuels will only be used for transport). The production process will be carried out by 100% solar energy.
We are also working on improving the biodiversity within our factory premises. We have found a way to grow more than five different species of fruits and trees of biodiversity importance within our premises. Our motto is grow smart, grow green, which is reflected on every level of our business.
We frequently collaborate with local schools to undertake tree planting programs to teach the future generations regarding the importance of our environment. Human Kind’ s existence relies on oxygen, and oxygen comes from trees.
Our team of experienced team members work really hard to ensure your products are delivered on time. Whilst we pay our staff well, we also believe in rewarding our team a little bit extra when the occasion arises.
Well rested staff produce better results’ has always been our mantra. We ensure our staff have regular breaks and a pleasant area to have these breaks at. This space is also used for their lunch and other team celebrations
Our team has grown exponentially since our inception. When people are well treated, word gets out and we’ve had an ever growing team to keep up with market demand.
