Eswaran Brother’s Exports in another sustainable development achievement
View(s):Eswaran Brother’s Exports has commissioned what it calls the ‘country’s first Organizational and Product Water Footprints’.
Carried out according to the guidelines of the International Water Footprint Network through its partner in Sri Lanka, The Carbon Consulting Company, the water footprints bring a whole new dimension towards building sustainable corporates and brands, the company said in a media release.
“Having paved the way by becoming the first Carbon Neutral Tea company in the World, we decided that we needed to up the ante, to cement our position as a truly sustainable brand and company” said Deputy Chairman of Eswaran Brothers Exports, Subramaniam Eassuwaren. “The water footprint of an organization is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services of an organization.” He said that most companies have traditionally focused their sustainability efforts on operational water usage while failing to address water usage throughout the supply chain. “Eswaran Brother’s Exports however have taken that extra step to mitigate our environmental impact by calculating the product water footprint for our new tea brand – Tea So Tea-.”
Carbon Consulting Company COO (Chief Operating Officer) Sanith de Silva Wijeyeratne said that Eswaran Brothers is focusing on efficient water usage throughout the production process as well as accounting for water usage throughout the supply chain. “This type of organizational and product water footprint analysis, illustrates the company’s direct and indirect water consumption in order have a comprehensive understanding of the company’s impact on limited water resources, and help it address the looming global water crisis by protecting this invaluable resource”.
