BATTICALOA — Sri Lankan apparel firm Brandix has claimed that its manufacturing facility in Batticaloa is the “world’s first” to achieve ‘Net Zero Carbon’ status. This certification signifies that a factory has “completely neutralised its environmental impact through carbon dioxide emissions by being highly energy efficient and using on-site renewable energy resources”.
This follows the same Brandix plant having also previously achieved the highest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum rating in Sri Lanka — and second highest globally.
