Sri Lanka’s newest cricketing sensation Lasith Malinga has taken another milestone step by joining Sri Lanka’s largest apparel exporter Brandix as a champion of the group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Human Resources Development (HRD) initiatives.
“Lasith was referred to us because he wants to have a career after cricket, and has a lot of empathy for our environmental initiatives,” Brandix Lanka Director A J Johnpillai said. “We were impressed by the passion he brings to his game and the fact that he is planning for his future.”
“We believe Lasith can portray the values of Brandix and contribute meaningfully to our efforts to communicate these values to our 20,000 plus associates,” he said.
When he is not playing for his country, Malinga will undergo training at the Brandix College of Clothing Technology (BCCT) at Ratmalana and at other Brandix companies, and tour the group’s manufacturing locations to educate workers on initiatives to preserve the environment, save energy and promote the conservation of water resources.
Speaking at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Brandix, the 23 year old Malinga said: “Brandix is one of the most respected groups of companies in Sri Lanka and South Asia.”
“I have been particularly impressed by their deep concern for community and environmental issues,” he said.
