Sustainability and CSR
Introduction
The primary route by which the Bank discharges its responsibility to society is its business operations, which provide an essential economic and social service and are conducted with probity, transparency and fairness.
Our financial support for business and industry generates a broad range of indirect benefits such as increased employment, poverty alleviation, GDP growth, better living standards, etc., although these cannot be quantified for reporting purposes.
Seylan Bank recognises a duty to promote sustainable human and economic development in our society through direct action. This duty is simply one of good citizenship. To discharge it as effectively as possible, the Bank also concentrates its activities in the area of education.
Seylan Bank recognises education as a tool to reduce poverty and social injustice by providing the underprivileged with resources and opportunities for upward social mobility and inclusion.

Seylan-Pahasara
Launched in 2013, the Seylan ‘Pahasara’ Library Project stands as Seylan Bank’s long-term social sustainability initiative, extending support to schools across Sri Lanka by strengthening school libraries and widening access to learning opportunities.
‘Pahasara’ is bigger than a mere library project, creating welcoming spaces and learning opportunities for students to learn, discover and grow.
Beginning with tree planting ceremonies that symbolize the ‘Pahasara’ journey of life and learning, the initiative amplifies the provision of a broad range of books with the inclusion of digital learning, financial literacy, and interactive learning experiences, further complemented by scholarships and internships that help students progress towards higher education and the world of work across generations without an end.
The 'Pahasara' journey began with its 1st Library , followed by key milestones including the 50th , 100th , 150th , 200th , and 250th Libraries.
Planting knowledge. Nurturing potential. Empowering generations to rise.
