A manufacturer of hand protection items and member of the Hayleys Group, Dipped Products PLC (DPL), has launched its new ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) roadmap ‘DPL Pulse’.
‘DPL Pulse’ builds on the environmental and social consciousness already rooted within the organisation and aligns with the Hayleys Group’s long-term sustainability aspirations as outlined in the Hayleys Lifecode.
DPL Managing Director Pushpika Janadheera said, “Economic growth should never undermine the balance between social and environmental progress; simply, there is no compromise.” As a result of DPL’s proactive approach in adopting renewable energy sources, 93% of its energy needs are currently met by biomass and other renewable sources. DPL has set forth plans to invest Rs. 1.6 billion in solar energy spanning all six manufacturing locations, with five based in Sri Lanka and one in Thailand. DPL is also committed to achieving a zero landfill goal as part of its ongoing efforts.
DPL is targeting 30% sustainable water sourcing and 55% reuse of treated wastewater through its 2030 Roadmap.
