Green Fix Consultancy (Pvt) Ltd, focuses on developing sustainable strategies and solutions to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental sustainability in Sri Lanka. By offering expertise in carbon offsetting, green energy, and sustainable business practices, Green Fix helps organisations to integrate eco-friendly initiatives, align with global climate goals, and contribute to a greener, more resilient economy. The consultancy serves as a vital bridge in supporting the country’s transition toward carbon-neutral practices. When most consultancies focus on calculating the carbon emissions of an operation, Green Fix adopts a dual approach by combining carbon emissions and sequestration assessments. This enables organisations to make informed decisions in achieving sustainability goals, ensuring that both emissions reduction and carbon stocks in the premises are considered.
In collaboration with the University of Ruhuna, Green Fix's services are grounded in scientific principles, led by industry experts Dr. Sunanda Kodikara and Harsha Mapaguneratne. This partnership ensures a stringent certification process for companies participating in carbon footprint assessments.
Since its inception, Green Fix Consultancy has completed six [06] carbon projects in six months with four [04] major projects in the pipeline in Batticaloa, Thanamalwila, Hambantota and Pasikudah, as well as international projects in the Maldives. These efforts underscore Sri Lanka’s commitment to a greener future and position Green Fix as a leader in sustainable transformation.
A notable success story involves the Hotel Riviera in Batticaloa, which reported 200 megatons more carbon stocks in the hotel premises than emissions. The hotel's plants and soil sequester more carbon than the hotel emits, highlighting the vital role sequestration can play in sustainability. Without Green Fix's comprehensive approach, these benefits might have been overlooked, impacting environmental contributions and the hotel’s brand reputation.
“Our goal is to unite the public and private sectors in Sri Lanka to achieve carbon neutrality,” said Dr Sunanda Kodikara, Co-Founder of Green Fix Consultancy. “Unlike traditional carbon audits, our assessments provide a comprehensive picture of an organisation's carbon footprint by considering both emissions and sequestration. This allows businesses to accurately assess their progress toward carbon neutrality and make informed decisions. Additionally, our unique carbon stock assessment helps businesses manage their carbon assets for sustainable financial planning.”
Green Fix offers a full suite of services, including carbon footprint assessments, emissions reduction strategies, carbon offset recommendations, and sustainability planning. Their comprehensive approach delivers measurable and actionable insights, with assessment timelines varying from two weeks to a month depending on business size.
In addition to enhancing brand reputation, Green Fix’s services ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements, delivers cost savings, and increase eligibility for environmental grants.
As Green Fix Consultancy continues to expand, the company seeks new partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and environmental organisations, contributing to Sri Lanka’s broader sustainability goals.
