On a quest to minimize and mitigate the impact of its operations on the environment, Expack Corrugated Cartons Ltd, the premier corrugated carton manufacturer in Sri Lanka catering to both local and export markets and a subsidiary of Aberdeen Holdings Pvt Ltd joined hands with co-energi.

As an independent specialist provider of sustainable and resource efficient designs, co-energi will assist Expack in this journey towards sustainability with a highly sensible, innovative, and legally compliant approach.

Being in the manufacturing sector and utilizing heavy machinery, it is always a challenge to control the immediate and wider environmental impact. However, the unwavering commitment towards sustainability and continuous improvement programs, has enabled Expack to implement numerous energy conservation programs to meaningfully offset its impact on the environment.

Chairman Mr. Sattar Kassim said that Expack is committed towards preserving the environment and has very recently embarked on obtaining LEED and Carbon Neutral Certification for their factory in Sapugaskanda, pledging allegiance in being a responsible corporate as a partner and a key contributor in the fight against climate change and biodiversity. The company has taken the pledge to become Carbon Neutral by 2022.

co-energi is a Building Engineering Consultancy with its principles and values based on the philosophy of “SMART DESIGN'', specializing in Green Building, MEP Design Consultancy and Carbon Neutral Consultancy.

With over 10 years of experience in designing highly efficient AC systems, rooftop solar designs, energy audits, MEP designs/retro fittings and being instrumental in achieving over 12 LEED Certifications in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, co-energi is well poised to support Expack in this quest and journey.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the top Green Building Certification in the world, offered by the US Green Building Council. It helps companies design and build structures and operations integrated with environmental responsibility, with minimal impact on occupant health and the natural environment and deliver high resource efficiency throughout its life cycle.
