The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has received the honour of being named among the ‘10 Most Admired Companies’ in Sri Lanka, an award presented by the International Chamber of Commerce Sri Lanka (ICCSL) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and for the second consecutive year.
The Bank was presented this award by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, at an event held at the BMICH on 25th September. Companies in the Top 10 included diversified conglomerates, leading banks and household brand names in the food and beverage sector.
The awards recognised companies that are a cut above the rest in terms of not just their financial performance but also the value they create for their shareholders, customers, employees and the wider community in general.
The nomination of companies for this award was based on a public survey conducted by the organisers requesting participants to vote for companies that they admire on selected criteria. The companies shortlisted through the survey were asked to submit an application followed by a presentation.
The companies honoured with a Top 10 ranking are those that enjoy the strongest reputations, inspire other organisations and entrepreneurs, and have proven their mettle with consistency, authority and sustainable growth, creating excellent business performance.
Companies were ranked against a set of quantitative and qualitative criteria. The quantitative criteria included financial soundness, long-term investment value creation, earnings growth and dividend payout. The qualitative assessment covered quality of management, quality of products and services, competitiveness, ability to attract, develop, and keep talent, innovation, and environmental, social and corporate responsibility, including the track record of integrity and business ethics.
Commenting on this prestigious accolade, Commercial Bank Managing Director S. Renganathan said: “This award reflects the trust that the Commercial Bank has earned through its unwavering commitment to honesty, ethics and best practices and its passion not just for business excellence but to being an exceptional corporate citizen. While it is an honour to be listed among the Most Admired Companies for the second time, the Bank is also humbled by the consistent support shown by its customers and shareholders, and deeply appreciative of the dedicated service rendered by the staff.”
