The sole intention of CSR Sri Lanka is to create the missing link between existing requirements of the country and the goals of private sector CSR, resulting in sustainable benefits to all.

You cannot run a business by totally eliminating the relationship with the society and environment. CSR has to be part of the business strategy. You have to bring transformation to all stakeholders. We have seen many organizations moving towards CSR once the damage has already been done to the society and the environment. For any business, it is a long journey. Allocating a small percentage of profits for social and environment transformation is not sufficient. Your profit has to be directed towards the sustainability of the planet and people. We invite you to join us in our journey to accomplish CSR 2 for our country, our people and ourselves." - Chandula Abeywickrema, Chairman of CSR Sri Lanka
