Staff volunteerism has become an integral part of the community
engagement strategy of John Keells Group. John Keells volunteers are
involved in most corporate responsibility activities under key areas
such as Education, Health, Community and Livelihood Development,
Environment, Arts and Culture, and Disaster Relief.
These programs connect John Keells and the community, while enabling
employees to develop confidence, communication, leadership, teamwork,
and a sense of personal fulfilment and belonging. The CSR arm of the
Group, John Keells Foundation, acts as the focal point that unleashes
'volunteer power' to benefit communities and the Environment.
The Foundation has only two paid employees. The Management Committee
and project teams, comprise group employees who volunteer their time.
The Foundation recorded 402 volunteer engagements in various projects
implemented or overseen by the Foundation during the year ending 31st
March 2011.
