Hayleys Group subsidiary and pioneering textile manufacturer Hayleys Fabric PLC, bagged the bronze award for the Best Integrated Report Design at the Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ASRA) 2019 in Singapore.
Hosted virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Swedish Ambassador to Singapore, Niclas Kvarnström was guest of honour at the event which was attended by over 200 senior business leaders, sustainability partners, academia, trade associations and advocacy organisations across the region.
“The concept of sustainability plays a central role in ensuring that businesses are able to survive and thrive in increasingly volatile conditions. Therefore, the ability to transparently report on sustainability within our organisation is an essential prerequisite to showcasing our commitment and building engagement around these vital initiatives. Hence, we are delighted to have been recognised among leading corporates in the Asian region,” Hayleys Fabric Managing Director and CEO, Rohan Goonetilleke said.
Continuing to raise the bar for quality and authentic reporting, the ASRA has introduced healthy competition among corporates in Asia. Evaluated by an independent panel of judges, all entries are subjected to a multi-tier evaluation process, followed by a comprehensive due diligence process.

The Awards recognise and honour sustainability reporting leaders in Asia, celebrating the best practices in sustainability reporting. The Awards are open to all types and sizes of private, public and non-profit organisations in all sectors which produce a sustainability report or integrated report in Asia.
