Hayleys Plantations partners with Solidaridad
View(s):Hayleys Plantations, home of the world’s first Regenagri®-certified tea estate, has entered into a landmark partnership with Solidaridad Network Asia and its Sri Lankan partner Nucleus Foundation to advance regenerative agriculture and carbon insetting programmes across its estates.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed alongside other plantation sector companies, represents the next phase in the sustainability journey of the member companies of Hayleys Plantations, Kelani Valley Plantations PLC (KVPL), Talawakelle Tea Estates PLC (TTE PLC) and Horana Plantations PLC (HPL), the company said in a media release.
Hayleys Plantations Managing Director, Dr. Roshan Rajadurai, explained how this latest milestone will serve to further reinforce the Sri Lanka’s position at the international forefront of regenerative, climate-smart, ethical agriculture. “Our mission at Hayleys Plantations is to help lead the transformation of the Sri Lankan plantation industry into dynamic, resilient, profitable agri-businesses that can serve as a global beacon for sustainable and ethical production. The mainstreaming of regenerative agriculture practices is central to this long term vision.”
In 2024, KVPL’s Halgolla Estate became the first tea estate in the world to receive Regenagri® certification, demonstrating its dedication to embedding regenerative principles, including restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, sequestering carbon and advancing holistic farming models.
Under the new partnership, all three companies will expand Regenagri® protocols across more estates, enhancing traceability, competitiveness and supply chain transparency. The estates will also deploy Regenagri® carbon insetting programmes, generating verified Carbon Removal Units (CRUs) to access global carbon markets.
Carbon insetting is a strategy for companies to reduce their carbon footprint by investing in emissions-reduction projects within their own supply chains or value chains, rather than buying external credits.
