Recognised for its exceptional commitment to sustainable business practices, Sri Lanka Telecom PLC (SLT) secured the esteemed ‘Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Award 2023’ in the ‘Other’ category at a recent gala event. 

The award was granted following a rigorous evaluation process, during which SLT competed against 33 leading corporations.

The annual awards are organised by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, Sri Lanka’s premier business chamber, to felicitate organisations committed to sustainability across various sectors.

The ‘Best Corporate Citizen Sustainability Award’ celebrates organisations that have implemented comprehensive sustainability initiatives spanning Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects. 

The Chamber evaluated companies across stringent criteria, including environmental stewardship, customer and community relations, corporate governance, financial performance, economic contributions, and special sustainable development projects.

Shortlisted companies then underwent rigorous interviews with an elite panel of international and United Nations representatives. SLT-Mobitel’s senior leadership team, including Chief Executive Officer Janaka Abeysinghe, Chief Marketing Officer Prabhath Dahanayake, Chief People Officer Dr. Chandana Wijayanama, GM – Marketing Services Anuruddha Suriyarachchi, and several other senior officials attended the glittering awards ceremony.
