The winners of the ACCA Sri Lanka Sustainability Reporting Awards 2008, being held for the fifth consecutive year, will be held on March 25.
Last year’s awards saw Holcim Lanka win the large category award while Union Assurance won the medium category award, according to an ACCA press release. The awards, a global initiative and based on judging guidelines established by ACCA worldwide, is currently held in over 25 countries and is open to any type of organisation encompassing all business sizes.
ACCA Sri Lanka President, Nandika Buddhipala was quoted as saying that many companies in Sri Lanka now consider sustainability reporting a part of their everyday workings. “Proper sustainability reporting is challenging at the best of times, as while it does implement and establish uniform accountable and transparent guidelines on how economic, social and environmental impacts of an organisation should be reported, it also means that employees from top to bottom, must be made conscious of these reporting procedures.” |
