Virtusa bags Gold at Green Awards

Virtusa Corporation, a global business consulting and IT outsourcing company, was awarded the Gold Trophy of Commendation in the 'Private Enterprises' category at the National Green Awards 2013-2014 in Colombo recently.

Virtusa received the award for its Code Green initiative, one of the fundamental pillars of the company's corporate sustainability agenda under which the company carries out several programs in the areas of climate change management.

While adhering to a green procurement policy, the company also closely monitors and manages per capita energy and water consumption, vehicle transport and air travel and electronic and segregated waste to actively cut down on its environmental footprint.

As the only IT company in Sri Lanka to be felicitated at the event, this is the second instance in the three-year history of the Awards that Virtusa has been recognised for its commitment to the environment.

Senior Vice President and Head of Digital at Virtusa, Madu Ratnayake said, "We are delighted to receive the Gold trophy at the National Green Awards. It reaffirms our commitment to sustainability, the continual reduction of our environmental footprint and our leadership in the industry in sustainable business practice."
