The revival of these prestigious awards signifies not just the return of a legacy initiative, but a powerful recommitment to championing excellence in corporate leadership, innovation, and high-impact performance.

Speaking on the relaunch, Mr. Ramesh Schaffter, Managing Director/Group CEO of JXG (Janashakthi Group), shared the significance of reintroducing this platform at a time when Sri Lanka's corporate sector is looking to evolve and compete globally. “The Pinnacle Awards were originally launched by Janashakthi Insurance and have always reflected our ethos of pursuing excellence and nurturing leadership. Relaunching them now feels like a natural evolution—an opportunity to reconnect with a powerful legacy that remains profoundly relevant,” he noted.

Mr. Schaffter emphasised that this partnership with CIMA is more than symbolic—it's strategic. “As a dynamic and emerging financial conglomerate in Sri Lanka, JXG is committed to inspiring innovation and driving meaningful impact. The Pinnacle Awards align seamlessly with our forward-looking vision to cultivate a high-performing business culture not only within our group but across the broader corporate ecosystem.”

What sets the CIMA-JXG Pinnacle Awards apart from other industry recognitions is their uncompromising emphasis on credibility and transparency. “The evaluation process is rigorous, objective, and merit-based,” Mr. Schaffter explained. “Winners are not chosen on popularity but on genuine, measurable impact. This ensures that those who are recognised truly represent the best in Sri Lanka's corporate world.”
