CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY EFFORTS OF LANKA IOC PLC
Lanka IOC PLC, as a responsible corporate citizen believes, that Corporate Responsibility is not merely about philanthropic activities, making generous donations to various charitable causes but about being accountable for your actions, to your stakeholders and operating in a way that ensures long term sustainability, which in turn ensures sustainable development of the nation.
Lanka IOC PLC commenced its business in Sri Lanka in the year 2002 and was concentrating on stabilizing its business in Sri Lanka, energizing the people of Sri Lanka in the best possible manner with its 152 Retail Outlets spread in all parts of the country.
In the year 2010, with the increase of the catastrophic effects of the natural disaster all over the world, due to climate change and its consequences, the Company decided to engage and educate the young minds of Sri Lanka to minimize this effect and formulated a project to address the issue by “Go Green” concept, involving the school children with the collaboration of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. The company targeted to plant 1500 saplings within one year of its commencement, engaging 1500 school children from the under privileged families selected by the school authorities, which was on 12th February 2010. Each child engaged in this project is encouraged by giving the ownership of the sapling planted and the company contributing a sum of Rs.100/- per student every month for a period of 3 years to care for the trees, until the trees can withstand any damage.
The Company proudly announces its completion as targeted within one year engaging 1500 students from 72 schools as given below:
