Kericho Environment As the leading Kenyan tea supplier, we are always striving for ways to reduce our impact on the environment. We’re working towards being completely self-sufficient in electrical energy, and are already self-sufficient in thermal energy. Our aspiration is to generate all this energy in carbon neutral generating plants.
