Sustainability Supplement
We have structured our sustainability report along the FORGE framework
for Sustainability Management
and Reporting for the Financial
Services Sector. The FORGE Group is a consortium of financial institutions
and involves the British Bankers’ Association and the Association of British Insurers (www.abi.org.uk/forge). Our Sustainability report is presented along the four major themes identified by FORGE as being those most relevant to financial services organisations viz, Marketplace, Workplace, Community
and Environment.
Commercial Bank believes in placing Sustainability at the heart of our day-to-day business activities rather than making it an extraneous effort attracting attention of its own. We were the first Company in Sri Lanka to adopt a triple bottom line reporting policy almost ten years ago. Our aim is to conduct our business in a socially responsible manner in respect of the environment, staff, customers, shareholders and local communities.
Thus, we are of the view that our entire Annual Report is in a way a chronicle of our sustainability; hence, the title of this chapter. We have in these pages supplemented the information given elsewhere in the Annual Report under the four focus areas of Marketplace, Workplace, Community and Environment. In the interest of keeping the Annual Report clear and concise we have avoided repetition and cross referred to the relevant sections instead.
