Oxford College of Business (OCB), Sri Lanka’s leading private higher education institution, has been named the Winner in the SME Category at the prestigious ACCA Sri Lanka Sustainability Reporting Awards 2025, reinforcing its position as a national benchmark for transparency, accountability, and sustainability leadership in higher education.

Organised by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Sri Lanka, these annual awards recognise organisations that demonstrate excellence in sustainability reporting, ESG disclosure, and responsible value creation. The awards are regarded as one of the most credible platforms for evaluating how organisations embed sustainability into governance, strategy, and performance reporting.

OCB’s recognition reflects the strength and maturity of its sustainability reporting framework, which integrates environmental stewardship, social impact, governance excellence, and long-term value creation into a coherent narrative. The institution’s reporting practices align with leading international frameworks and best practices, ensuring stakeholders receive transparent, decision-useful insights into its sustainability performance and strategic direction.

Commenting on the achievement, Malindu Ranasinghe, Director/CEO of Oxford College of Business, said:
“Being named the winner at the ACCA Sri Lanka Sustainability Reporting Awards is a meaningful affirmation of the standards we hold ourselves to in transparency and accountability. Sustainability reporting is not about recognition; it is about responsibility – ensuring our stakeholders can clearly see how we create value responsibly and sustainably. We are grateful for this recognition and, above all, I give glory to God for His grace and guidance as we continue to strengthen our sustainability journey.”

The award highlights Oxford College of Business’s broader commitment to embedding sustainability across its operations, academic delivery, and stakeholder engagement. From responsible campus practices and environmental stewardship to inclusive people policies and ethical governance, OCB continues to evolve as a purpose-driven higher education institution that leads by example.

This recognition further strengthens OCB’s reputation among students, parents, partners, and international collaborators as a trusted, future-ready institution that voluntarily upholds the highest standards of sustainability disclosure and governance – particularly in a higher education sector that is not formally regulated in Sri Lanka.

With sustainability becoming an increasingly central expectation of institutions worldwide, Oxford College of Business remains committed to continuous improvement in ESG integration and reporting excellence – ensuring that education is delivered with purpose, transparency, and long-term societal impact.
