Excel Restaurants cleans up Mount Lavinia beach section

Restaurants Loon Tao and Shore By O!, that operate under Excel Restaurants Ltd which comes under the Browns Group, carried out a beach clean-up along the Mount Lavinia beach recently after the beach was littered with trash.

The clean-up was also to mark World Oceans Day 2020.
“The two restaurants are situated on the shoreline of Mount Lavinia and believe that it’s their responsibility to keep the shoreline trash-free. The beach clean-up was carried out with the participation of the staff members of Excel Restaurants Ltd. A group of volunteers also joined hands with the Excel Restaurants team to clean the beach. Excel Restaurants provided the necessary accessories and assured the safety of the members who participated. The team commenced the clean-up in the morning and collected a significant amount of plastic waste. The trash collected was packed and directly handed over to the municipal council trucks,” Browns said in a media release.
Commenting on the beach clean-up campaign, Eksath Wijerathne, Group General Manager, Browns Hotels and Resorts said, “Loon Tao and Shore By O! are two restaurants that cherish the bounty of the ocean. Ethical practices are at the core of our philosophy. Since both restaurants are situated on the shoreline of Mount Lavinia, we always make sure that the beach strip is clean and our waste is disposed of properly. For us, sustainable seafood is a top priority. We purchase our ingredients and especially seafood from ethical suppliers who source seafood in sustainable ways.”
