As part of its ‘Siyapathen Mihikathata’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, Siyapatha Finance PLC recently conducted a one-day cleaning project targeting religious places, public spaces and areas preserving important ecosystems.
Organised ahead of World Environment Day that is commemorated on June 5, the cleaning project was successfully carried out in 37 locations islandwide.
In line with the company’s focus and commitment to infuse in the general public a sense of thoughtfulness and responsibility towards the environment, especially in the young, developing minds in the country, staff of Siyapatha teamed up in numbers to take the lead in fulfilling their shared CSR vision.
Siyapatha Finance Managing Director Ananda Seneviratne said: “The present era we live in does not place enough significance on the impact nature and different ecosystems have on the sustainability of all living things.”
“Unfortunately, we witness people in general littering everywhere and lacking regard to the Earth we live on. What we must understand is that man cannot survive without nature and the environment. Man and nature are two sides of a coin; it is ingrained in our way of living. We truly believe that Siyapathen Mihikathata is a simple yet powerful reminder to us all to protect and peacefully coexist with our environment, and we as a company plan to continue these efforts in full force in future as well.”
