"We are proud of the steady climb we have made in the rankings.
Unilever Sri Lanka was placed 11th in 2006 and has risen each year since
to be placed 8th, 7th and 5th in 2007, 2008, and 2009. We also
maintained our position as the highest ranked multinational and the
highest ranked non listed company", said. Amal Cabraal, Chairman/CEO,
Unilever Sri Lanka. The annual survey, conceptualized and commissioned
by LMD, Sri Lanka's leading business magazine, is conducted by the AC
Nielsen Company. The survey covers a sample of 800 senior business
executives and is designed to rank the most respected entities in Sri
Lanka and determine the reasons why they are perceived as such.
Commenting further on Unilever's continued progress in the rankings,
Cabraal stated that it was a reflection of the company's sustained
business growth and commitment to its core values.
"I am delighted that Unilever Sri Lanka has not only improved its
overall position, but also enhanced its position among all 10 business
drivers and governance criteria that the companies were ranked on.
Unilever is ranked No. 1 in quality consciousness and has continued to
score high on financial performance, management profile, honesty,
innovation, dynamism, corporate culture, CSR, vision and
nation-mindedness."
"Unilever's ranking in the CSR criteria has improved considerably and
now stands at No. 2. No doubt the launch last year of our first
Sustainability Report which highlighted the many initiatives we have
taken based on our philosophy of doing well by doing good, helped people
understand our commitment to sustainable development", said Cabraal.
"We also upped our ranking in the Nation-Mindedness criteria from
20th position in 2008 to 7th in 2010, which is an affirmation of
Unilever's commitment to local manufacture and the strengthening of its
links with the community it serves".
