Asia’s first CarbonNeutral Pest Control Company, The Exterminators (Pvt) Ltd, announced a global first with their proprietary ‘Specialized Anti-Microbial Disinfection Service’ that is focused on countering the spread of the current global pandemic of COVID-19.

The local pest management company stated that they were successful in obtaining the globally recognised Carbon Neutral certification for their dedicated service, further demonstrating their continuous commitment towards the environment. The audit to measure the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with the delivery of this service in Sri Lanka was conducted by the Carbon Consulting Company (CCC), who has been guiding the Exterminators on their sustainability journey in managing and mitigating their organisational emissions for the past six consecutive years. This latest achievement is also a part of a larger vision of the pest control company to become a more responsible corporate citizen.

The CarbonNeutral Certification for specialised disinfection service of the Exterminators was awarded by the Sustainable Future Group (SFG), Sri Lanka’s only sustainability verification and certification body that is accredited to verify and validate Organisational and Project-level GHG emissions inventories under ISO 14064. SFG is also the regional partner of the London-based Natural Capital Partners, the proprietor of The Carbon Neutral Protocol that governs the global certification, who was recently recognised as the “Best Carbon Offset Retailer” in the world for a record ninth consecutive year.
