The nature of our business is such that we have always been very aware and active in the whole gamut of sustainability issues. Tea estates by nature are small communities which have a very close relationship with the environment. Aislaby farm and estate is a perfect place for bird watching, the fruits, trees and flowers attract more than 50 species. A predawn start is needed for the hardest species, the Srilankan Whistling Thrush. As dawn is the best time to find this inexplicably shy bird. Ceylon Jungle fowl, Bush Warbler and the Woodpigeon are common visitors.

Our primary goal at Senok and Aislaby Farm and Estate is to be a responsible cooperate citizen, enhancing the quality of life in our local communities. There are always enormous challenges as an employer with the quality of people living on the estates. In order to maximize our effectiveness, we focus on the children on our lands, in three key areas. Education, Training and Health.

Starting at birth, we have a concerted programme of antenatal and neonatal care. Working closely with our estate dispensaries and government hospitals, we provide advice, nutrient supplements, medical treatment, immunizations and monthly clinic services. This not only provides for the children themselves, but the mothers. In essence leading to a far more cohesive family life within our estates.
