David Pieris Motor Company (Private) Limited (DPMC) has been recognised with the Merit award of the Ian Dias Abeysinghe Memorial JASTECA CSR/Sustainability Award, at this year’s awards ceremony.

This recognition reflects DPMC’s commitment to embedding sustainability into every aspect of its operations—spanning environmental stewardship, renewable energy generation, community engagement and innovation.

DPMC’s award-winning submission showcased a series of impactful initiatives that highlight its holistic approach to responsible business. A key focus was the company’s renewable energy generation efforts, with most large-roof facilities equipped with solar panels to produce clean energy, thereby reducing dependency on non-renewable sources. Another significant initiative, the eDrive Project, promotes green mobility through in-house electric vehicle conversions fully carried out by DPMC’s own teams. The project also includes eDrive for Differently Abled, reflecting the company’s inclusive approach to innovation.

Beyond technological progress, DPMC continues to invest in employee welfare and community development, with wide-ranging programmes designed to uplift livelihoods and enhance social well-being. Environmental responsibility remains a cornerstone of its operations, with initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, effluent treatment and reuse and energy-efficient practices helping to minimise environmental impact.
