People’s Leasing and Finance PLC was recognised as one of the Ten Best CSR and Sustainability projects, at the Ian Dias Abeysinghe Memorial JASTECA CSR and Sustainability Awards 2020 recently.
The annual awards were presented for the 24th time by the Japan Sri Lanka Technical and Cultural Association aka JASTECA at the Galadari, Colombo.
People’s Leasing received the award for its commitment towards improve early childhood education in Sri Lanka. The company invested in this initiative as investment in early years leads to better education, health, social and economic outcomes later on, increasing revenues for the nation and reducing the need for costly social spending.
People’s Leasing spearheaded this initiative guided by the apex institutions specialised in early childhood education and care. Deputy General Manager, Marketing, Laksanda Gunawardena said, “Human capital is a critical part of our nation’s sustainable progress and the quality of human capital can be improved through investment in early childhood education. Our financial assistance was ably supported by staff members from the islandwide branch network.”
