Ex-Pack Corrugated Cartons PLC was recently bestowed the Carbon Neutral certification by the National Cleaner Production Center (NCPC) for the third year.
Despite the nature of the industry it operates in, where achieving carbon neutrality can be quite challenging, Ex-Pack sets the benchmark with this certification, paving way for others to follow suit. Expack’s constant effort in adopting best industry practices has resulted in the reduction of carbon emissions, progressing towards its yearly Greenhouse Gas (GHG) targets covering its entire operations. 
NCPC validated the GHG assessment, based on emissions from Ex-Pack’s energy and water consumption, waste management, transportation, and other connected consumptions. Co-energi, a top provider of MEP design, carbon neutral consultancy, and green building certification services, supplied the technical advice that was crucial in helping Ex-Pack obtain its certification every year.
‘‘Ex-Pack continuously works to reduce and offset carbon emissions while using some of the industry’s finest sustainability practices and consulting with subject-matter experts,’’ said Chairman Sattar Kassim.
The company is certified with ISO 9001-2015, ISO 14001-2015, FSC COC, WRAP certifications, and has won numerous recognitions at the NCE Export Awards, CNCI Awards, Lanka Star Awards,NBE Awards, Lanka CSR Awards and Green Awards and recently they were bestowed with Silver Awards at the Presidential Environmental Awards.
