“Sustainability is our strength, resilience and competitive edge,” said Dilhan C. Fernando, Chairman of Dilmah Tea, to over 100 supply chain stakeholders at the third ‘Stronger Together’ event.
The ‘Stronger Together’ event took place a few days after the announcement of the European Commission’s ‘Omnibus Simplification Package’, which proposes to ease sustainability reporting burdens for businesses by delaying certain deadlines and simplifying requirements for regulations like the CSRD and CSDDD, while still maintaining the EU’s overall sustainability goals.
Launched in 2023, ‘Stronger Together’ is a commitment by Dilmah and its parent company, MJF Group, to elevate industry standards, align global sustainability benchmarks, and support all stakeholders linked to the tea industry. The programme facilitates knowledge-sharing and strategic partnerships, ensuring that suppliers, logistics providers, and allied sectors move forward together in embracing sustainability.
