John Keells Foundation (JKF), the Corporate Social Responsibility entity of the John Keells Group, hosted its annual Volunteer Recognition Day under the patronage of Chairperson of the John Keells Group, to celebrate the remarkable contributions of staff and business teams who dedicated their time, skills, and efforts towards creating positive social impact across Sri Lanka.
Held on 28th July 2026 at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, the event was graceed by the senior leadership of the John Keells Group led by Group Chairperson Krishan Balendra,and served as a platform to recognise and reward volunteer excellence during 2025/26.
Presenting the volunteerism highlights of the year, Carmeline Jayasuriya, Head of Group CSR said, “The past year recorded remarkable growth in volunteerism, with 2,500 volunteers contributing across 4,842 instances and 105,096 hours. In particular, environment-based initiatives, Ditwah relief efforts, and the iconic annual art fair Kala Pola recorded the most number of volunteer engagement during the year, underscoring the widespread impact of our collective service. We are also happy to witness increasingly strategic and purpose-driven volunteerism through the Group businesses, many conducted in partnership with JKF, one of which will be showcased today. This year, as JKF recorded its 21st anniversary, a key commemorative activity was the development and launch of a customised Volunteer App to digitise the full volunteer process across the Group, which has already gained traction among over 1100 staff including the Group Executive Committee.”
