August 03, 2025

The Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) officially launched the Able Charter on 6th February at the BMICH, a landmark initiative aimed at fostering inclusivity and empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Sri Lanka through structured employment, entrepreneurship, and awareness.

The event was graced by Sugath Wasantha De Silva as the Chief Guest, a respected advocate representing the differently-abled community in Parliament. Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and professionals, the launch marked a powerful joint commitment by SLIM and CIPM to drive systemic change. The Charter lays out a strategic roadmap to embed inclusivity into workplace cultures, align corporate and government efforts, and recognize ability over disability across Sri Lanka’s economic landscape.
