SUSTAINABILITY

At Devi Trading we live by a philosophy of touching lives, making a difference and thereby enriching the lives and livelihoods of the many who are integral to the communities within which we operate. We recognize community integration as a strategic activity, one that not only fosters a better tomorrow for the communities within which we operate, but also a sense of satisfaction in the knowledge that our operations and the locations in which we do business is directly benefited by our presence. Our direct interactions with cinnamon farmers in areas such as Meetiyagoda, Karapitiya and Ratnapura over many decades have assured these communities of sustained incomes and assured purchase of their produce. Our own emphasis on quality have in turn led to the creation of quality consciousness amongst our farmer communities, thereby enhancing their own capacities.
Ours is a vision to empower communities, empower business through sustained supplier relations, empower choice through reliable customer relations and create a better environment for tomorrow through small deeds that catalyse change. Ours is a business that strives at all levels to inculcate practices of fair trade.
