Brown & Company PLC announced that its annual report was awarded Silver for the Trading sector at the 52nd Annual Report Awards competition conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) at a glittering event that took place at Waters Edge, Battaramulla.
Held since 1964, the CA Annual Reports competition is considered a platform which encourages excellence in the presentations of information covering transparency, social accountability and good governance among diverse Sri Lankan business entities in the field of financial reporting. This competition is considered the most prestigious accolade for annual reporting in the country and has helped enhance the standards in financial reporting in line with global standards. 
Performance by Browns is the result of a strategic vision which leverages on the valuable synergies of the Browns group to reaffirm the company’s journey towards being a leading player in the industry. The company has charted an ambitious blueprint for growth, buoyed by the optimistic outlook of the industries we operate as a whole and also inspired by the key performance indicators of a fast-paced Sri Lankan economy.
Browns Group Chief Financial Officer Thamotharampillai Sanakan stated, “One of the highlights of our annual report was that it forayed into presenting an integrated report this time round and was also successful in compiling a sustainability report along with the operational review. This attempt to take on the daunting task of compiling an integrated report reflects the company’s commitment to the triple bottom line concept of people, planet and profits. Built on the pillar of trust, Brown & Company PLC has instilled sustainability in all areas of its operations and its high levels of disclosures in the 2016 annual report.”
