The only Destination Management Company in Sri Lanka to have a CarbonNeutral® certified fleet of vehicles, awarded by Climate Impact Partners of the UK (Climateimpact.com) – a leading carbon offset solutions provider, through their regional partner- Climate and Conservation Consortium (http://climateconserve.com/) This fleet which numbers almost 600 vehicles range from large coaches to luxury cars, all of which have their carbon emissions set aside.
This global certification reinforces our commitment to accurately measure, monitor, and continuously work towards mitigating the running-emissions of our entire vehicle fleet. We have also “gone the extra mile” to offset our emissions to ‘net zero’ by investing in local and international renewable energy projects by purchasing registered Carbon Credits to match our fleet footprint each year.
