Jiffy Products wins NCE Best Ethically Trading Exporter award
Jiffy Products Sri Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd (JPSL), a leading manufacturer and exporter of coconut and coir-based plant propagation grow media, won two awards including the title of Best Ethically Trading Exporter at the annual Export Awards of the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE), a flagship event in Sri Lanka’s business calendar.
JPSL once again took the Silver award in the extra-large category of the coconut and coconut products sector in addition to the award for Ethical Trading in the same category. The latter is the newest addition to the NCE awards scheme and was introduced to recognise ethically-governed, exportoriented organisations and encourage Sri Lankan exporters to conduct ethical practices and sustain business enhancement.
“We are delighted to win the inaugural Best Ethically Trading Exporter award in our category because it reaffirms our steadfast commitment to best practices in ethics and sustainability,” said Jiffy Products Sri Lanka Managing Director Ruwan Rajapakse.
“This award will strengthen our global presence while enhancing the outlook for Sri Lanka as a global exporting hub. Jiffy Products strongly believes in ethical business operations and our strategies are developed with the vision to be the innovation and service leader in sustainable plant growing solutions that feed and beautify the world.”
“We contribute over Rs.2 billion to the rural economy annually through raw material purchases and employee wages and have persisted with continuous improvement initiatives despite the challenges of the times. We are therefore most encouraged by the honours bestowed on us by the National Chamber of Exporters,” Rajapakse added.
Jiffy Products exports to over 40 countries including Mexico, France, Canada, England, the USA, Germany, Japan, Australia and South Korea.
