ComBank advances ForwardTogether agenda

The Island

|

January 23, 2026

Anchored in its long-term commitment to create a sustainable future for Sri Lanka and beyond, Commercial Bank of Ceylon has advanced its 'ForwardTogether' sustainability journey by hosting "ForwardTogether 2026: Partnering for a Sustainable Corporate Future," a focused engagement designed to translate sustainability dialogue into practical action with customers.

Held at the Lotus Ballroom of the Shangri-La Colombo, the event brought together a curated audience of Corporate and Personal Banking customers, senior representatives of the Bank, and sustainability specialists from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Translating vision into action and building on the momentum of its landmark national Sustainability Summit, ForwardTogether 2026 was conceived as a sub-initiative under the Bank’s wider ForwardTogether platform, with a sharper emphasis on customer partnership, capacity building and operationalising outcomes between Summit editions, the Bank said.
