Local garment exporter Hirdaramani Group said it has been awarded the "Gold Flame" at recently concluded “Sri Lanka National Energy Efficiency Awards”, which were held at the beginning of this month as part of the country's "National Energy Week Exhibition" organised by Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA).
According to the group's statement; "The award recognises the group’s success in reducing its carbon footprint via a series of measures to reduce energy consumption [with] a range of practices including the use of renewable energy, natural and energy efficient lighting and evaporative cooling systems, as well as a focus on incorporating more efficient manufacturing processes thus ensuring less energy wastage".
Also noted was the example of the group's "Mihila" factory which had "reduced its total energy consumption by 48% since its opening". Additionally indicated was that organisers considered such factors as "reductions in electricity consumption, use of renewable energy, new technology employed to promote energy efficiency, capability of personnel involved in energy efficiency initiatives" as judging criteria.
