Being a responsible and empathetic corporate citizen, we believe our CSR agenda will reinstate the importance of maintaining good road behaviour that will help change a risky driving culture to one that’s a lot safer. And to make this a possibility, we are proud to be working closely with the Sri Lanka Traffic Police from the very inception of this much needed cause.”
