CEO, Carbon Consulting Company, Sanith de S. Wijeyeratne was presented the Global CSR Leadership Award at the Global Awards ceremony at the Taj Land End Convention Centre in Mumbai recently.
The Global CSR Excellence and Leadership Awards, held annually to mark World CSR Day, is part of an international two-day summit hosted by the World CSR Congress, which brings numerous CSR leaders across the globe, under one roof. The awards ceremony, which was held on February 18 saw over 130 countries unite to celebrate leadership aimed at building a better society and a better world. Sanith de S. Wijeyeratne said, “To be sought out and recognised for this achievement is an absolute honour.
“I was conferred this award because of the talented and highly skilled team at the Carbon Consulting Company that is equally passionate about making a positive impact on our environment as we strive towards quelling climate change and transforming our reality. My sincere appreciation to them and to the Board of Directors of CCC for their support and guidance.” The theme of this year’s summit, ‘Profit for Purpose’, looked to Sustainability and CSR for Inclusive Growth, Reformation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration, Value Driven Social Change, and Green Economy for Progress and Development, among other key sub-themes.
The forum operates on the key premise of how leadership can make a difference; where leaders believe in the value of CSR and create a common thread uniting nations and people who pursue CSR more responsibly.
