Dilmah Strengthens Sri Lanka’s Water & Ocean Stewardship

October 16, 2025

Dilmah Ceylon Tea Company PLC has been invited to be Patron of the Water & Ocean Stewardship Working Group of the UN Global Compact Network Sri Lanka. This invitation is both an honour and a responsibility: an opportunity to amplify decades of leadership in conservation and inspire others to take action in Sri Lanka’s collective sustainability journey. Dilmah has had a legacy in water stewardship. Reliable access to water sustains the tea industry, just as thriving ecosystems sustain communities. Recognising this, Dilmah Conservation – the company’s environmental arm – has, since 2007, spearheaded over 50 initiatives to conserve, restore, and manage water resources. These include rainwater harvesting systems, community access to safe drinking water, wastewater recycling, and campaigns to reduce plastic pollution that threatens waterways.
