JAT Holdings has made continuous strides in changing the sustainability landscape of Sri Lanka. After identifying key areas of focus such as business sustainability, sustainability of the society and sustainability of the planet, JAT Holdings has certainly become a catalyst for change in the corporate arena of Sri Lanka.
In terms of minimising carbon footprint, JAT was one of the first paint and wood coatings companies in the country to compute its direct and indirect carbon footprint of all three scopes by adhering to international guidelines and standards.
The company has not overlooked the importance of driving high levels of business sustainability by preserving Sri Lanka’s culture and heritage. JAT Holdings embarked on its Petal paints project with the goal of restoring murals and ancient paintings in temples. These paints are used by master artists to restore faded temple wall paintings across the country.
During these uncertain times amidst a global pandemic, JAT Holdings has recognised that most of its daily wage-earning customers who are painters and carpenters have been affected badly. The Sayerlack Sathkaraya program was launched to support them in their time of need. This gave them the opportunity to obtain free products, allowing them to continue working on stalled projects. The company has also extended a helping hand to Sri Lanka’s public at large as well. JAT supported the renovation of the Wetara District Hospital by donating paint and providing the required technical assistance and support for the renovation.
