Our Contribution towards Society
Our Purpose
Women, Men, Girls and Boys take control of their own future and give back to their communities
This is our Goal for the people we work with. It is based on the Sustainable Development Goals which are aimed at protecting people, the planet, reducing poverty and inequality.
Also known as the Global Goals, the SDGs were rolled out in 2016 by the UN in recognition of the interconnected nature of global challenges and their root causes. The aim is to bring about holistic change in the lives of people across the world by 2030.
We believe that responsible, sustainable change for the people we work with requires a concerted effort, the 6 Goals below embody Dilmah Founder Merrill J. Fernando’s vision of making business a matter of human service and the work that we do.
