This in turn has facilitated Hayleys Plantations to deliver excellence to all our stakeholders,” Hayleys Plantations Managing Director Roshan Rajadurai said. The awards come hot on the heels of several other accolades won by Hayleys Plantations for its comprehensive approach in environmental management and conservation at the Presidential Environmental Awards 2018 for the fifth consecutive year.
Additionally, Hayleys Plantations recorded a dominant performance at the National Business Excellence Awards 2018, with TTEL receiving Overall Gold award and additionally Gold in the Agriculture & Plantation Sector, Excellence in Performance Management, Excellence in Capacity Building and Extra Large Company categories.
