HNB General Insurance (HNBGI) has officially launched its new flagship CSR initiative, “HNBGI Better Tomorrow,” with a successful community clean-up event. This initiative marks the beginning of a long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and deeper community engagement.
The clean-up targeted a neglected alley adjacent to Nawam Mawatha, a shortcut used daily by hundreds of commuters heading to the Slave Island Railway Station and nearby offices. Previously littered with debris and waste, the alley had become unhygienic and unpleasant for the local community.
More than just a clean-up effort, the initiative reflects HNBGI’s dedication to creating cleaner, safer surroundings and building a sustainable future that begins with local communities. Armed with brooms, garbage bags, and other tools, the HNBGI team worked together to transform the alley into a safe, welcoming, and hygienic pathway. In line with its ESG commitments, HNBGI has also taken responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of this area, ensuring it remains clean, safe, and well-kept.
“Our vision for HNBGI Better Tomorrow is to create a meaningful, long-term platform where we contribute to both people and the planet,” said Sithumina Jayasundara, Director/CEO of HNB General Insurance. “By starting with this clean-up, we are setting the tone for many impactful initiatives to come, driving positive change step by step and ensuring a better tomorrow for all.”
“This initiative goes beyond cleaning,” added Dilshan Perera, Chief Transformation Officer at HNBGI. “It represents our commitment to sustainable action, stronger community relationships, and building a hygienic, greener environment for everyone.”
The event also reinforced HNBGI’s brand promise — Your Trusted Partner to Take on Tomorrow — showing how proactive steps taken today can create a lasting positive impact for communities and the environment. The revitalised alley now provides a cleaner, safer, and more pleasant route, transforming what was once a daily challenge into a moment of comfort for commuters.
