ComBank honoured for dedication to women empowerment

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC has been recognised for its commitment to empower women at the ‘Top 50 Professional and Career Women Awards’ held recently in Colombo.

The Bank was presented the award for the ‘Best CSR project on women empowerment by an organisation’ at the 10th edition of the ‘Top 50 Professional and Career Women Awards, Sri Lanka & Maldives’ – an event organised by Women in Management (WIM), a leading organisation in Sri Lanka dedicated to the success of women, together with International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, and the Government of Australia via Australia Aid.

This is the first time that Commercial Bank has been chosen for this particular award. The award was in respect of Bank’s continuous efforts to empower women entrepreneurs by going beyond its regular business operations to improve their knowledge and enhance their financial literacy through a series of workshops exclusively for women.
