POLICY STATEMENT
The technique for creating seed balls was rediscovered by Japanese natural farming pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka.The technique was also used, for instance, in ancient Egypt to repair farms after the annual spring flooding of the Nile. In modern times, during the period of the Second World War, this Japanese government plant scientist working in a government lab, Fukuoka, who lived on the mountainous island of Shikoku, wanted to find a technique that would increase food production without taking away from the land already allocated for traditional rice production which thrived in the volcanic rich soils of Japan.

Ensure sustainable consumption and
production patterns
A comprehensive environmental
management framework ensures
that the consumption of all natural
resources are tracked and monitored
on a continuous basis. We also produce
an Integrated Annual Report and
comply with the GRI Standards on
Sustainability Reporting.
As a responsible corporate citizen AMHK committed to providing healthcare services in a sustainable manner with minimum effect on the environment.
Accordingly, we drive concerted efforts to conserve energy
and water, dispose of hazardous waste in a responsible manner and to
reduce carbon emissions in line with international best practices.
Stationary combustion in diesel generators, Fuel combustion from Hospital Owned vehicles, Emission from off-road transportation (Tractor), Emission from LPG consumption, Diesel combustion from Incinerator and Emission from incineration.
Indirect emissions associated with grid purchased electricity
Our energy requirements are
fulfilled entirely through the
national grid. Electricity remains
the main contributor to our carbon
footprint.

Our energy requirements are
fulfilled entirely through the
national grid. Electricity remains
the main contributor to our carbon
footprint. During the year Lanka
Hospital’s energy consumption
increased by 4% to 38,370 Mj
due to capacity expansion. Energy
intensity (defined as energy usage
per inpatient) increased by 0.4%
to 1,370 J. Key energy initiatives
during the year are,
*Usage of LED lighting solutions
for all new projects and theatre
lighting
*Creating awareness of energy
conservation among employees
*Implementation of
recommendations relating to
saving energy based on the
energy audit conducted by the
University of Moratuwa
Water is essential for AMHK's
operations and its usage
is monitored closely. Consumption
of water increased by 0.6% to
127.77 Ml during the year. Various
measures are in place to minimise
water consumption including
installing sensor taps, control
sensors and an incident reporting
system to identify leaks. Creating
awareness and instilling the
importance of water conservation
among employees has also
contributed towards controlling
the increase of water consumption
during the year.
The main types of solid waste
generated through our operations
include plastic cans, cardboard
and paper. These are segregated
at source and sent to third party
recyclers approved by the Central
Environmental Authority. The
nature of our operations make the
discharge of toxic waste inevitable,
and measures are in place to
ensure the responsible and nonhazardous
disposal of all types of
waste. The toxic waste is treated
prior to disposal and sent to an
incinaration

polythene carry bage and shooping bages are strictly prohibited inside the hospital premises.Plastic bags are everywhere in our environment. When we go to purchase our groceries, we use plastic bags because they are convenient. In fact, in our modern lives, it has become part of us. However, the convenience of these plastic bags come at a very high cost to the environment and negatively affects human health. Several cities globally have begun banning the use of plastic bags while some have enforced restricted laws against the use of plastic bags because of the negative effects of the use of their usage.
Besides, the use of plastic bags is considered as one of the great issues that humans are facing in their contemporary life. Cities such as China have banned the use of plastics. Bangladesh and India has only banned the use and sale of polythene bags which basically have thickness of less than 50 microns.
We strongly believe that our future success is dependent on our employees who are also our greatest asset. We are committed to attracting, retaining and developing the most suitable professionals and establishing an environment for them in which they are encouraged to realise their full potential.
