E. B. Creasy Sustainability Award recognises women-led innovation
The award was presented under the Responsible Care Initiative at an event held at The Barnhouse, where the Awesi project was named among the top 10 women-led sustainability projects of the year. The recognition highlighted the initiative’s measurable contribution to innovation, occupational safety and long-term Workplace sustainability within the manufacturing sector.
According to organisers, the awards aim to recognise organisations and individuals demonstrating responsible, safe and sustainable operational practices within Sri Lanka’s chemical and industrial sectors. The event was organised by the Lanka Responsible Care Council, which continues to promote environmental responsibility and workplace safety standards across industries.
The E. B. Creasy Sustainability Award achievement was led by Executive Quality Assurance Shanika Amarasekara and Executive Energy and Sustainability Thilakshi Navodya. Their leadership of the Awesi initiative was recognised for creating a replicable and impactful model for inclusive industrial development.
Industry analysts noted that Women-led projects are increasingly gaining recognition across Sri Lanka’s corporate sector as businesses place greater emphasis on diversity, sustainability and socially responsible operations. Organisations are increasingly acknowledging the importance of female leadership in driving innovation, operational efficiency and workplace transformation.
The Awesi project was commended for integrating safety-focused processes with broader sustainability objectives, demonstrating how manufacturing operations can improve workplace conditions while also supporting long-term environmental and operational goals. Experts within the industry have pointed out that sustainability initiatives are becoming a key factor influencing corporate reputation, employee engagement and long-term competitiveness.
The E. B. Creasy Sustainability Award also reflects the growing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles within Sri Lanka’s manufacturing and industrial sectors. Businesses are under increasing pressure from consumers, regulators and international stakeholders to adopt responsible operational practices and improve workplace standards.
Company representatives stated that the recognition further reinforces the organisation’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in occupational health, employee wellbeing and sustainable manufacturing practices. They noted that fostering innovation and inclusivity remains central to the company’s long-term operational strategy.
The Lanka Responsible Care Council has continued to encourage industries to adopt globally aligned safety and sustainability frameworks capable of strengthening responsible production methods while minimising environmental impact. Industry observers believe such initiatives are becoming increasingly relevant as businesses seek to improve resilience and align with international sustainability benchmarks.
Analysts also highlighted that Workplace sustainability has evolved beyond environmental considerations alone, now encompassing employee safety, inclusivity, ethical governance and long-term organisational wellbeing. Companies demonstrating leadership in these areas are increasingly viewed more favourably by investors, customers and business partners.
The recognition of Women-led projects such as Awesi is expected to encourage greater female participation in leadership roles within Sri Lanka’s industrial and manufacturing sectors, where women continue to play an expanding role in driving innovation and operational development.
