In celebration of International Women’s Day, Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC, the trusted provider of Caltex-branded premium lubricants in Sri Lanka, recently reaffirmed its commitment to empowering women in the automotive industry through its flagship gender equity initiative, Caltex Abhimani.

Marking another milestone in the journey of inclusion and empowerment, Chevron hosted a dedicated knowledge-sharing session for female-owned and operated Caltex authorised dealerships and Caltex Xpress Lube service stations across Sri Lanka. The session provided participants with a sound understanding of motor mechanism — strengthening their technical acumen and ability to engage more confidently with customers in a traditionally male-dominated field.

Further recognising the vital role of these pioneering women — who represent nearly 15 percent of Chevron’s exclusive dealer network — Chevron also gifted each participant a comprehensive one-year health insurance package from a leading insurance service provider. The policy includes a life insurance cover, hospitalisation benefit and OPD (outpatient department) entitlements.

Commenting about the event, Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC Managing Director and CEO Bertram Paul said, “We are pleased to felicitate the pioneering women in our exclusive dealer network who are breaking barriers in operating in what has traditionally been a male dominated sector. By investing in their knowledge, health, and well-being, we are celebrating their achievements and accelerating action for a more inclusive and resilient industry.”

Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC Head of Human Resources Maheshni Hamangoda added, “At Chevron, we believe that empowering women through education and access to healthcare drives systemic change. Through Caltex Abhimani, we are proud to cultivate an environment where women entrepreneurs thrive, lead and inspire the next generation.”

Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC, through its Caltex brand, has built one of the most extensive retail networks in the country, with authorised dealers and service stations spanning the island. The company continues to champion diversity and inclusion through sustained, meaningful engagement with its stakeholders — creating impact not only in businesses, but also in lives of the community.
