Asia Siyaka Warehousing (Pvt) Ltd(ASW), Sri Lanka’s leading tea auction logistics service provider, has achieved a significant global milestone by becoming the world’s first tea logistics company to be awarded ZeroCarbon® certification, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability, operational excellence, and responsible supply chain management The ZeroCarbon® certification, granted by Sustainable Future Group (SFG), recognises organisations that have comprehensively measured their greenhouse gas emissions, implemented effective emission reduction strategies, and offset residual emissions in line with internationally accepted carbon-neutral standards. This achievement positions ASW as a benchmark organisation within the global tea logistics sector.

In addition to ZeroCarbon® certification, Asia Siyaka’s purpose-built warehouse facility is also LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, making it the first tea logistics facility globally to hold both LEED and ZeroCarbon® credentials. The company has further strengthened its compliance framework by obtaining ISO 22000 food safety certification, reinforcing its commitment to quality, safety, and international best practices.
