Access Engineering wins gold for 2012 Annual Report

Access Engineering PLC, the leading value engineering and infrastructure development solutions provider in Sri Lanka, won the gold award for construction companies at the Annual Report Awards 2012 ceremony organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka on 5 December 2012.

The Annual Report Awards is one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated corporate awards ceremonies and is the single most important disclosure with respect to a company’s operations where winners in the listed categories are recognised for their excellence in annual financial reporting, adherence to accountability, good governance and fiscal transparency.

Underscoring the importance of the effective presentation and promotion of financial and non-financial information along with transparency and accountability of operations of an organisation to their stakeholders, Access Engineering’s award winning annual report reflected the organisation’s commitment to transparent operations and reporting standards geared in line with international standards.

In keeping with the company’s vision to be ‘the foremost Sri Lankan business enterprise in value engineering’, Access Engineering adopted the theme ‘Hope Delivered’ for its 2011-12 annual report, underscoring the social and economic compact between stakeholders and the company’s value delivery.

This vision and theme transcends operational excellence and investor value alone and significantly deals with people’s lives – their hopes, dreams, and a vision of better prospects for themselves and for their children.

From bridges and flyovers to roads and highways, harbour projects, water supply schemes and optical fibre backbone projects, Access Engineering has been the invisible strength behind scores of massive infrastructure programs that have directly impacted the lives of thousands of Sri Lankans, from urban cities to the remotest reaches of the island. Every day, the engineering giant’s operations enable trade and transport, offer access to education, healthcare and simply bring people together, across the island ‘delivering hope’.

Established in 2001, Access Engineering has flourished to become a key player in corporate Sri Lanka, branching out to various business sectors with strategic partnerships with both local and multinational entities.

These progressive operational differentiators have enabled the company to enrich the lives of its employees and stakeholders as well as make a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the country.

The recipient of many accolades since its inception, Access Engineering PLC has also won awards including Corporate Accountability Rating 2012 – gold award, National Business Excellence Awards 2011 – Best Knowledge Integrator and many national awards for excellence in construction. In addition, Access Engineering was also adjudged the overall winner in the Excellence in Business and Financial Performances category, joint winner in the Sector Award category (construction), and joint second runner-up in the overall Extra Large Category at the National Business Excellence Awards 2012.

These milestones were achieved with many years of passion, dedication and commitment from all its employees who have underlined its success.
