Dilmah believes that the sustainability of its estates is dependent on the welfare of its estate workers and the health of the ecosystem at large. At present, the use of agrochemicals and other forms of anthropogenic activities within tea plantations have major negative effects on biodiversity and water bodies in estates.
To ensure the good health of fragile tea ecosystems and estate workers, and contribute towards national level conservation efforts, Dilmah Conservation undertakes frequent soil, biodiversity and water quality surveys within its estates.
