As the leading confectionery manufacturer in Sri Lanka, we at Uswatte, strives to deliver our goodness and health to our consumers everywhere. In the process, we also make sure that our products are made with care and responsibility, to our environment and the people who power our sourcing and manufacturing process.
At Uswatte, preserving the delicate natural and social balance is a vital part of ensuring the sustainable growth of our business. We respect our planet’s resources, and responsibly sourcing of our raw materials is an essential part of our production process.
The benefits of sustainable sourcing are quite clear; it allows us to reduce our business risk and volatility in the chain of supply of raw material to our production lines, whilst building mutually beneficial relationships throughout our supply chain and providing supplier communities with opportunities to be more successful in their livelihood.
We believe that, by building an eco-conscious and sustainable environment, we are always driven towards innovation. This has always shed light to us to create innovative ideas to drive our business towards future.
Ever since the company moved the Corporate Office Complex and factory to Millaniya back in 2015, the company has helped improve the lives of the people in the area. “We have provided employment to over 400 individuals from the surrounding area.
We have also built strong bonds with the local communities through our regular social service work such as contributing to school development projects as well as Avurudu festivals, Wesak festivals, X-mas gatherings and many more. As a responsible organisation, we also help educate school children by arranging regular factory visits so that they get an understanding of how their favourite sweets are made. This is something unique that other confectionery manufacturers does not offer.”
