LSEG Sri Lanka wins two prestigious CEO Awards
View(s):The London Stock Exchange Group – Sri Lanka (LSEG SL) secured two prestigious awards at the recently concluded annual LSEG CEO Awards, taking top honours in the categories for ‘Responsible Business’ and ‘Excellence’.
A cross functional team from LSEG Sri Lanka won the CEO Award for ‘Excellence’ for their exceptional contribution to generate high volume, speed, and quality to support the opening of LSEG’s new technology facility in Sri Lanka, the company said in a media announcement..
LSEG opened its new state-of-the-art technology facility in December 2016. Headquartered at Trace Expert City in Colombo, LSEG will directly employ 400 personnel in high-technology jobs, with an additional 1200 employed indirectly to provide technical support services for the group’s global network.
Winning the CEO Award for ‘Commitment to Responsible Business’ was MillenniumIT’s team Mahoga for their launch of Mahoga: the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform. The project was recognised for its potential to be a major force in driving charitable involvement and fundraising, embodying the group’s corporate responsibility objectives.
“Mahoga is a web platform designed to match a social investor with a beneficiary that is in need of resources and support. With a reputation for powering over 40 stock exchanges and trading venues across the world, the team took up the challenge to create a platform that could match donors with beneficiaries to achieve a long-term, sustainable impact. Through Mahoga, the LSEG SL CSR team intends to bridge the existing gaps in the corporate responsibility domain and facilitate the allocation of resources in the best way possible to drive transformative CSR projects,” the release said.
This year, over 150 nominations were accepted across seven categories. They were then reviewed by a cross-business, cross-regional judging panel chaired by the Group heads of Human Resources and Communications. Judges were then selected from across LSEG’s Leadership Team to ensure representation across businesses and geographies.
