Exterminators receives world recognition for Anti-microbial Disinfection Service
Asia’s first Carbonneutral Pest Control Company, The Exterminators (Pvt) Ltd, announced a global first with their proprietary ‘Specialized Anti-microbial Disinfection Service’ that is focused on countering the spread of COVID-19 global pandemic.
The local pest management company stated that they were successful in obtaining the globally recognised Carbon Neutral certification for their dedicated service, further demonstrating their continuous commitment towards the environment.
The audit to measure the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with the delivery of this service in Sri Lanka was conducted by the Carbon Consulting Company ( CCC), who has been guiding the Exterminators on their sustainability journey in managing and mitigating their organisational emissions for the past six consecutive years. This latest achievement is also a part of a larger vision of the pest control company to become a more responsible corporate citizen.
The Carbonneutral Certification for the specialised disinfection service of the Exterminators was awarded by the Sustainable Future Group (SFG), Sri Lanka’s only sustainability verification and certification body that is accredited to verify and validate Organisational and Project-level GHG emissions inventories under ISO 14064.
SFG is also the regional partner of t he Londonbased Natural Capital Partners, t he proprietor of The Carbon Neutral Protocol that governs the global certification, who was recently recognised as the ‘Best Carbon Offset Retailer’ i n the world for a record ninth consecutive year.
Once the overall emissions of the activities related to the delivery of the selected service was determined, SFG facilitated t he purchase of the requisite amount of internationally registered Carbon Credits that directly support renewable energy projects in developing countries through the Carbon Registry of Natural Capital Partners, in order to make the Carbon Footprint net zero.
