Siyapatha Finance Reinforces Environmental Responsibility Through Independent GHG Verification
Siyapatha Finance PLC, one of Sri Lanka’s leading non-bank financial institutions, has reinforced its commitment to climate action by obtaining a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Verification Opinion from the Sri Lanka Climate Fund (Pvt) Ltd. (SLCF), following the independent verification of its 2025 organizational-level GHG statement.
The achievement represents a significant step in the company’s sustainability journey, highlighting its focus on accurate emissions measurement, transparent environmental reporting and responsible business practices.
The Verification Opinion was presented at the Certificate Awarding Ceremony 2026, organized by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund (Pvt) Ltd. at the Main Auditorium of the Ministry of Environment on 24 September 2026. The event recognized organizations that have undertaken greenhouse gas quantification and verification initiatives to improve their environmental performance and strengthen climate-related practices.
Siyapatha Finance’s organizational-level GHG statement was independently assessed against ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol, with the verification process conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-3:2019. The assessment covers the company’s operationally controlled business activities, providing an independently verified account of its reported greenhouse gas emissions.
The verification establishes a reliable foundation for Siyapatha Finance to measure its environmental footprint systematically, identify potential emissions-reduction opportunities and enhance environmental performance across its operations. It also strengthens the transparency and credibility of the company’s emissions reporting, supporting a more structured and accountable approach to environmental impact management.
As part of its broader sustainability strategy, Siyapatha Finance continues to incorporate environmental considerations into its operational activities and decision-making processes. Key initiatives include energy conservation, greenhouse gas emissions management, sustainable finance, environmental awareness and responsible resource consumption.
Commenting on the milestone, Siyapatha Finance emphasized that measuring and independently verifying greenhouse gas emissions is essential to understanding its environmental impact, identifying areas for improvement and establishing meaningful climate-related targets. The initiative reflects the company’s continued efforts to advance responsible business practices and strengthen its contribution to a more sustainable future.
