People and culture

Inspiring, challenging and diverse. Great people and an engaging culture are key to our success.


The quality of our people is a major reason why we continue to perform well – and why we are so excited about the future as we work together to deliver our commitment to creating “A Better Tomorrow”.

Our reputation as a leading employer in Sri Lanka helps us stand out in an increasingly competitive employment market, and our people are key to delivering our strategy.

The accelerated pace of transformation both in our industry and the organisation demands that our people are ambitious, courageous and resilient; that they live and breathe our ethos as they continue to drive and own results.

As competition for good people intensifies, we need to build a strong and clearly differentiated reputation as an employer. For many people, the attractions of a rewarding career with a major international business that values their contribution and supports their professional learning and development, are key factors in their decision to work for us.
