Lanka Hospitals announced its achievement of securing the Gold Award for the second consecutive year at the prestigious TAGS Annual Report Awards Competition, organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka).

This accolade underscores Lanka Hospitals’ commitment to upholding the core values of Transparency, Accountability, Governance, and Sustainability (TAGS). The TAGS Awards serve as a benchmark for corporate excellence in both financial and non-financial reporting, promoting enhanced corporate governance practices and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance.

With a legacy spanning over 56 years, the Annual Report Awards Competition was rebranded and reconceptualized as the TAGS Awards in 2022. The new format reflects the growing demands of stakeholders, including investors and shareholders, by focusing on contemporary reporting practices that go beyond financial disclosures. The competition evaluates organizations on their ability to embrace digital transformation, corporate governance, and sustainability practices while providing stakeholders with a transparent view of their operations and long-term value creation.

Lanka Hospitals’ outstanding achievement reflects its dedication to setting new standards in corporate reporting. Deepath Lokuarachchi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Lanka Hospitals Group, remarked:”Winning the Gold Award at the TAGS Annual Report Awards for the second consecutive year is a testament to Lanka Hospitals’ unwavering commitment to integrity, sustainability, and transparency. 

This recognition validates our efforts in providing comprehensive, transparent disclosures that embody the highest reporting standards. We will continue to raise the bar in financial and non-financial reporting to inspire trust among our stakeholders.” M. B. G. Wickramasiri, Group Chief Finance Officer of Lanka Hospitals Group, commented:

“The TAGS Awards recognize excellence in corporate reporting, and achieving this prestigious honor once again reflects our team’s dedication to delivering credible and comprehensive reporting. 

We are committed to maintaining transparency and integrating ESG principles into our reporting framework to demonstrate our accountability to shareholders, investors, and society at large.”
