The Chamber of Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE), in collaboration with the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), officially launched Sri Lankan Corporate Health and Productivity Awards (SLCHPA) 2025, at a press event held at Shangri-La Colombo on August 13.
Now in its third year, the SLCHPA recognises Sri Lankan businesses that champion employee well-being, workplace sustainability and productivity excellence. This year marks a significant milestone, with the JETRO joining as a strategic partner, bringing valuable international benchmarking, expertise and global best practices to the programme.
COYLE Chairman Manjula Wijesundera said, “The Corporate Health and Productivity Awards is more than just a recognition programme; it is a movement to inspire all organisations to take proactive steps towards better workplace health and holistic productivity.”
The awards also directly support the COYLE’s broader mission to foster a better employment environment in Sri Lanka, ensuring that companies place people at the heart of their growth strategies.
This year’s Principal Sponsor, Sampath Bank, underscored its commitment to supporting impactful initiatives, expressing its intention to further invest in building a thriving workforce as the foundation of a thriving economy. 
Organising Committee Chair Mihiru Perera added, “To the corporate leaders: step up and show the way. Let your brands be recognised not only for what they make or sell but for how they treat their people.”
Participation in the SLCHPA offers corporate tangible benefits, from boosting employer branding and employee engagement to demonstrating leadership in sustainable workforce management. Winners gain both national recognition and the opportunity to be profiled as case studies in health and productivity excellence.
Applications for the 2025 awards are now open. Corporate leaders, HR heads and senior management teams are encouraged to apply and showcase their efforts in building better workplaces.
Application forms can be downloaded from www.slchpa.com. Submissions will close on October 31, 2025.
SLCHPA 2025 is a call to action for every Sri Lankan organisation to commit to healthier employees, stronger workplaces and a more productive nation.
