The National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) was recently awarded the Certificate for Carbon Neutral  by becoming the first ‘green Chamber’ in the country to offset it’s carbon footprint.The NCCSL has calculated our entire carbon emissions and reduced them to net zero through a process of offsetting.  To carry out this process we have retained the services of The Carbon Consulting Company, who have been able to carry out this calculation according to the internationally accepted norms. The Carbon Consulting Company(CCC) which helped NCCSL in its certification process,  is also an official certifier of the Carbon Neutral Company of the UK.  “The calculation of the carbon footprint for the NCCSL was carried out in accordance with international standards,” says CCC Director Subramaniam Eassuwaren.
