The recognition highlights Barberyn Reef’s use of ISO 14024-aligned ecolabelling to support medicinal-plant conservation, biodiversity and sustainable Ayurveda hospitality.
Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Resort Hospital was recognised as a finalist in the Leader in Sustainable Trade category at the GEN Awards 2026, held in Singapore on 27 October 2026.
The awards are presented by the Global Ecolabelling Network, or GEN, an international nonprofit organisation bringing together credible ecolabelling programmes worldwide. GEN promotes ecolabels that help consumers, businesses and governments identify products and services with independently verified environmental performance.
Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Resort Hospital was recognised for its initiative, “Using Ecolabelled Hospitality to Support Medicinal Plant and Biodiversity Conservation.” The resort holds Ecolabel Sri Lanka certification for hotel accommodation and catering under a Type I ecolabelling scheme conforming to ISO 14024:2018. This internationally recognised standard supports transparent, independently verified environmental certification based on multiple environmental criteria.
The recognition highlights how Barberyn Reef connects credible ecolabelling with authentic Ayurveda hospitality, medicinal-plant conservation, biodiversity protection, organic cultivation and responsible resource management. It strengthens our commitment to caring for people and nature while continually improving the environmental performance of our hospitality operations.
