Recognising companies for sustainability and corporate excellence, the Best Corporate Sustainability (BCCS) Award 2019 will be held this evening (28) at the Cinnamon Grand, Colombo.
Hosted by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce for the sixteenth consecutive year, the objective of the awards is to recognise the importance of corporate sustainability in Sri Lanka, and encourage businesses to adopt best practices when creating goods and providing services. The Awards have evolved and improved over the last 15 years, with a dedicated panel of evaluators providing feedback to the Ceylon Chamber, and the applicants, on how to make better progress when moving forward. With this in mind, this Award this year includes a new Award which recognises women’s empowerment, under the Best Projects category.
These have encouraged contestants to assess the standing of their company in terms of sustainability when compared to their peers in the industry, and adopt best sustainability practices into their core businesses.
The panel of judges features International Finance Corporation Country (IFC) Manager, Amena Arif; United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Deputy Resident Representative, Faiza Effendi, and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Director Economic Growth Office, Brian Wittnebell.
