The 2025 edition saw an overwhelming response, with 128 entries received from a diverse range of companies. Following a rigorous evaluation process, 94 companies were recognized for their exemplary performance, making this year’s awards one of the most competitive and impactful to date.

The awards spotlighted companies that demonstrated exceptional capabilities in strategic leadership, policy formulation, effective people management, resource optimization, operational efficiency, and impactful partnerships. More than a celebration of achievements, the awards serve as a benchmark and inspiration for organizations to continuously evaluate and enhance their internal practices.

A distinctive and value-added feature of the awards was the CPM Management Insights Summit, where the success stories of the top six companies were presented. This platform offered invaluable insights into real-world strategies and practices, inspiring others in the corporate sphere to strive for similar excellence.

In line with its mission to promote continuous professional development, CPM Sri Lanka also offered a complimentary seat at the Summit to every participating company. This initiative was aimed at fostering a culture of learning, giving all entrants the opportunity to listen, engage, and gain from the experiences of industry leaders — a unique learning opportunity embedded within the awards framework.

The awards were presented across multiple categories, ensuring comprehensive recognition of excellence. Additionally, the prestigious Leadership Excellence Awards were conferred upon the exemplary leaders of the top six companies, acknowledging their pivotal role in driving innovation, resilience, and sustainable success.
