Swisstek Aluminium, a leading player in Sri Lanka’s aluminium industry, has recently been awarded the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Verification, further affirming its unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. 
This prestigious recognition was granted by the National Cleaner Production Centre, confirming that Swisstek Aluminium’s carbon footprint monitoring system has achieved a ‘reasonable level of assurance’, in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO 14064-3:2019 standard.
ISO 14064-3:2019, a comprehensive framework developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), provides guidelines for verifying greenhouse gas emissions and removals statements. The verification process, conducted independently by the National Cleaner Production Centre, adheres to strict assessments to ensure the accuracy, completeness and reliability of an organisation’s reported greenhouse gas emissions and removals data.

Swisstek Aluminium CEO Tharindu Atapattu emphasising the company’s ethos and core values stated, “Sustainability has always been at the heart of Swisstek Aluminium. Our steadfast dedication to sustainability has remained unwavering over time. This GHG Verification underscores our continuous commitment to implementing eco-conscious practices in every aspect of our operations. We take immense pride in receiving this prestigious recognition and remain resolute in our sustainability journey.”
Swisstek Aluminium’s dedication to enhancing sustainability is evident through substantial investments in various initiatives. Notably, the company has made significant strides in renewable energy by installing a solar panel system that contributes an impressive 2.1 million kilowatt hours to the national grid annually, representing an investment of Rs.156.5 million. As a testament to its sustainable practices, Swisstek Aluminium was recently honoured with the prestigious ISO 50001:2018 certification for its Energy Management System (EnMS) by the Sri Lanka Standards Institute, establishing it as the first in the industry to secure this esteemed certification.

The GHG Verification aligned with ISO 14064-3:2019 marks a significant milestone for Swisstek Aluminium Limited, reaffirming its position as a responsible industry leader committed to sustainable growth and environmental preservation. The company remains steadfast in its dedication to making positive contributions to society and the planet, while continually innovating and enhancing its sustainable practices.
