We believe that this achievement is an honour to good governance and transparency adopted in the workings of the Ceylon Chamber

of Commerce. Being a business support organisation with a legacy that spans almost 175 years, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce continuously strives to remain effective and relevant through changing times.

CCC’s Annual Report 2012/2013 was themed ‘Progressive Action’ as Sri Lanka is gaining momentum to reach the economic targets the country has set for itself in the short and the medium term. And as a Chamber, we are proud to have completed a year in which timely action was consistently and consciously taken to contribute to a more conducive business environment where entrepreneurship and business innovation could prosper. In order for this to occur, we together with our members and stakeholders took timely initiatives in influencing policy dialog with the relevant authorities towards establishing a sustainable economy. The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce hopes to continue this initiative in the years ahead through edification and empowerment for all strata of the business world.
