Our Backbone and Strength

At the heart of BSL lies its esteemed membership, which forms the foundation of our organization. Our membership is inclusive, welcoming Sri Lanka-based enterprises of all scales, from local businesses to multinational corporations, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Presently, BSL proudly stands supported by 47 leading corporations, distinguished as our Patron Members, recognized for their exceptional commitment to environmental stewardship.

A remarkable stride was taken when we extended our doors to General Members in 2015 and later to members from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in 2017. With 30 General members already on board and a growing community of SME Members, BSL’s membership now encompasses approximately nine diverse industry sectors. These sectors span Banking and Finance, Engineering and Construction, Hospitality and Tourism, Information and Communications Technology, Manufacturing, Plantations and Agribusiness, Diversified industries, and the Service sector. Notably, our representation is particularly robust from sectors such as Banking and Finance, Hospitality and Tourism, as well as Plantations and Agribusiness.

Our inclusive approach also extends to Associate Membership, offering organizations the opportunity to join us if their involvement can enrich the BSL community. As a testament to this, the United Nations Development Programme has aligned with us through a memorandum of understanding (MoU), solidifying their role as a valued Associate Member of BSL.

Adding to our network, the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) have embraced BSL’s mission as Associate Members.

BSL has accomplished a significant feat by successfully organizing and concluding seven Annual General Meetings. These events run concurrently with our Annual Technical Sessions and CEO Forums, commanding substantial attendance that embodies our membership, technical experts, invitees, and observers.

Our Annual Technical Sessions, a staple coinciding with the September Annual General Meeting, offer BSL members a unique platform to delve into comprehensive technical insights. These sessions revolve around topics carefully chosen to address current needs and member-specific requests. Notably, these sessions witness robust interest and participation, eagerly anticipated year after year.
