AIA CEO Nikhil Advani said, “As Sri Lanka’s Best Life Insurance Company (recognised by the Global Banking and Finance Review) and as a key player in the country’s corporate sector, we appreciate that these awards are the only one of its kind in Sri Lanka.

“It gives us great pleasure to support, recognise and reward companies that not only excel financially but more so, are committed to creating value in a sustainable and ethical way for their employees, customers, investors and the community.”

AIA Director and Chief Officer Legal Operations and External Relations Chathuri Munaweera added, “As part of the largest life insurer in the world, AIA endorses international standards of excellence in business and enduring elements of successful business organisation.

“With over three decades of experience doing business in Sri Lanka, AIA is truly appreciative and respectful of companies that succeed financially but more so, through sustainable and ethical value creation. In this light, we are delighted to be part of this effort to recognise honesty and integrity in Sri Lanka’s most reputed corporates.”

ICCSL Chairman Dinesh Weerakkody said, ““We are delighted to have a company of AIA’S stature and repute on board for the third consecutive year to recognise and applaud companies that add significant value to the county’s economy and overall development. As platinum sponsor, AIA will not be a contestant for the awards but as a company, AIA most certainly upholds the values of excellence required to be associated with an event of this nature.”

The awards ceremony is scheduled to be held at the BMICH on November 10 from 4:00 p.m. onwards.
