HNB FINANCE PLC, one of Sri Lanka’s leading financial services providers, successfully concluded its annual blood donation campaign at the company’s Head Office Auditorium recently, reaffirming its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), employee engagement and community wellbeing.
Organised as part of HNB FINANCE’s ongoing CSR initiatives, the programme brought together employees, their family members, representatives from neighbouring organisations and voluntary blood donors from the surrounding community, reflecting the company’s commitment to fostering a culture of volunteerism and meaningful community engagement.
The initiative, organised with the support and encouragement of HNB FINANCE Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Chaminda Prabhath, attracted nearly 150 prospective donors and resulted in the collection of 120 pints of blood for the National Blood Bank of Sri Lanka. The strong participation highlighted the collective commitment of employees and the wider community to supporting the country’s healthcare needs and contributing towards saving lives.
Commenting on the initiative, HNB FINANCE PLC Deputy General Manager, Human Resources/Chief Human Resources Officer Ruwan Fernando said, “Corporate social responsibility extends beyond the provision of financial services. Through our annual blood donation campaign, we provide our employees and voluntary donors with an opportunity to make a direct and meaningful contribution towards saving lives. The encouraging response to this year’s programme reflects the spirit of volunteerism among our employees and the goodwill we continue to build within the communities we serve.
“Such initiatives also enable us to strengthen our engagement with the wider community while reinforcing the values of compassion, solidarity and shared responsibility. On behalf of HNB FINANCE, I extend our sincere appreciation to our Managing Director/CEO for his continued support and encouragement, the medical and operational teams of the National Blood Bank for their invaluable assistance, and everyone who contributed to the success of this initiative.”
The annual blood donation campaign forms part of HNB FINANCE’s broader CSR agenda, which focuses on creating sustainable social value through employee participation and community-oriented initiatives. By encouraging volunteerism and strengthening partnerships with local communities, the company seeks to make a positive contribution to social wellbeing beyond its core financial services operations.
HNB FINANCE remains committed to advancing its corporate social responsibility initiatives, with an emphasis on meaningful employee engagement, community partnerships and long-term social impact.
