We are known as an entrepreneurial company constantly seeking new business opportunities to explore, innovate and make our own. That is how we have maintained an even trajectory of expansion and growth throughout every decade of our long history. Over the past few years, we have been investing in several enterprises that we identified as potentially value enhancing, such as the "Cinnamon Life" project, which will be an iconic landmark transforming the city of Colombo. Today, the Group moves into the next phase as our major investments begin to yield results. Yet the road has not always been an easy one and there were times when we had to dig deep, leveraging on our financial strength, operational expertise, business leadership and corporate resilience to withstand the challenges we have had to face. The Easter Sunday attacks of April 2019 will be long remembered for the tragedy and turmoil we all experienced. Yet, we have every confidence in our nation’s proven resilience and capacity to move ahead and prosper, united as one. Going forward, we will continue to harness the value created by our investment strategies; evolving our standards of governance while ensuring that our digital capabilities and innovative approach will drive your Company’s progress to the next level.
