The Metropolitan Group is a privately owned business known throughout Sri Lanka as being the leader in workplace solutions sector. For 54 years, Metropolitan has remained true to its values, mission and vision, the latter which is ‘A Metropolitan solution in every workplace'. Over the last year, Metropolitan realized that workplace solutions and equipment that exceeds their lifetime needs to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. A failure to do this in a managed and guided manner would cause damage to the environment through their hazardous chemicals, gases, metals and other material. With this in mind, Metropolitan initiated an Eco Office project.
AS a leading corporate citizen, social responsibility towards the people and the planet we live in is a core in our daily operations. We endorse the practice of 'complete solutions’ by ensuring that our products and equipment are safely disposed once their lifetime is completed. In our role of leadership in the workplace solutions industry, the Group’s CSR ‘EcoOffice’ project, vision for sustainability is simply to ensure safer and healthier working environments for all generations.
As the technical advisor CEA offers advice and guidance on the environmentally safe methods of disposing workplace waste. CEA also supports the project by endorsing the EcoOffice project thereby permitting the use of the CEA logo on EcoOffice related activities and items.
As the recycling partner, Green Links is a UN Basel Convention approved company in handling, managing and recycling of electronic waste in keeping with global and UN regulations.
The Metropolitan Group of Companies has undertaken to identify, collate and separate toxic and non bio-degradable materials from companies and dispose of in an environmentally friendly manner. The Group also conducts awareness creation material and other necessary items required for the project. The Group also undertakes to fund campaigns and other activities that would be deemed necessary for the successful implementation of this project.
