Partners with Clean Earth Enviro

Nishshanka De Silva delivers awareness speech

LOLC Finance celebrated World Environment Day 2025 on its Bambalapitiya office premises, uniting representatives from 22 regional branches in a concerted effort to confront the growing threat of plastic pollution. 

Anchored to this year’s global theme, ‘Ending Plastic Pollution’, the event served as a platform for LOLC Finance to reinforce its internal sustainability mandate, with an ambitious goal to achieve ‘Zero Waste to Landfill by 2030’ via actively adopting the 7R principles: Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Regift and Recycle.

The keynote speaker at the event, ZeroPlastic Movement Founder Nishshanka De Silva, delivered an engaging and thought-provoking address that highlighted the critical environmental, economic and health risks posed by plastic pollution. 

LOLC Finance also announced a strategic partnership with Clean Earth Envior, a leading waste management and recycling organisation founded by Indunil Karunadheera. Through this collaboration, LOLC Finance envisions further scaling its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. 

As part of the event, the company officially handed over 350 kilogrammes of paper and cardboard, along with 70 kilogrammes of PET bottles collected over a three-month period by 22 branches from the Metro I and Metro II regions for recycling. 

LOLC Finance Chief Operating Officer Montini Warnakula stated, “As Sri Lanka’s leading and largest NBFI, LOLC Finance recognises the importance of contributing to the sustainability of our environment.”
