Maliban Biscuit gets SLSI COVID-19 Safety...
The undisputed pioneer in biscuit manufacturing, Maliban Biscuit Manufactories (Pvt.) Ltd, was recently awarded with the COVID-19 Safety Management System certification from Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI).
This stands as a clear progression in the company’s strife to be current in line with the standards implemented in the contemporary manufacturing space by the SLSI. As a result, Maliban has become the first food manufacturing company to receive this soughtafter certification.
As a socially responsible and committed organisation, this certification reflects a wellplanned COVID-19 safety management system, which will be vital for the safety of the company’s employees, customers and all other stakeholders.
Additionally, as the nature of the progression of this pandemic is unpredictable, Maliban has made an effort to maintain and continually improve the COVID19 safety management system so that its business operations may resume in an environment safe from COVID-19.
Speaking with regard to the achievement of this certification, Maliban Managing Director Kumudika Fernando commented, “As a key player in the food manufacturing industry, we understand the importance of operating in a sterile environment and carry out appropriate measures across the group to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. This certification means that all individuals and stakeholders associated with Maliban are protected from the threat of COVID-19.”
In order to achieve this certification from the SLSI, Maliban applied a wellthought-out risk management process, which will in turn boost employee morale and confidence. The trickledown effects of such are expected to be reflected by the satisfaction of all Maliban’s loyal end customers.
Additionally, this SLSI standard is subjected to the guidelines issued from the Health Ministry and other applicable state legislative requirements. Maliban is also operating in line with the regulations put forward by the Government of Sri Lanka.
Through other communityrelated efforts in the past, Maliban has established a reputation for being an organisation which cares of the well-being of all those who are involved with its business operations. The achievement of this standard once again reiterates this as the implementation of the COVID-19 Safety Management System certification safeguards all those associated with the company.
