Mercantile Investments clinches All-Island CSR Silver at CA Awards

Being at the forefront of corporate reporting, Mercantile Investments and Finance Plc (MI) reinforced its dominance yet again by clinching the All-Island Silver Award in Best Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting at the recent CA Annual Report Awards Ceremony held at the BMICH, with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe gracing the event as its Chief Guest.

MI, having established itself as a renowned institution in the Finance Company sector with over 50 years of resounding success, has further expanded its presence in the last decade and has always taken the initiative to make a lasting difference in people’s lives and livelihoods, going even beyond commercial boundaries. As another initiative through MI’s budding microfinance operation, the company has enriched communities across the country, empowering women to improve their family’s living standards.

True to MI’s ethos of going that extra mile to help society, its social responsibility initiatives launched each year have helped the less fortunate and underprivileged meet various needs which would otherwise go unattended. 

MI’s unique corporate culture has not only enriched lives beyond its doorstep but also those who work within the organisation. For the second time, MI was recognised as a ‘Great Place to Work’ by the Great Place to Work Institute for 2017, which highlights MI’s people-centric approach and professional management culture. Therefore, wining this award reinforces MI’s standing in society and recognises the company’s efforts in giving back to people.
