With its organizational policies aligned with national efforts towards community development and global concerns regarding environmental protection, OSM Holdings has endeavored above and beyond its call of duty to set new CSR benchmarks for the industry within the island nation and the South Asian region.
A firm believer of leading by example, in 2012, OSM Holdings’ Global Transportation and Logistics established Sri Lanka’s first-ever 100% green warehouse complex, which is now widely acclaimed as a premier warehousing facility in the region.
While providing a cleaner and healthier work environment and augmenting the morale of the staff members, it has enabled the company to maintain the lowest carbon footprint for a warehousing operation of this magnitude. Coupling this with energy conservation, lean operational systems and environmentally conscious new technologies, the organization strives diligently to offer its clientele complete, world-class supply chain solutions that are cost effective and efficient, with the least environmental impact.
Furthermore, strategically expanding its scale and scope within the global supply chain and logistics industry, the organization has created thousands of new employment opportunities complete with welfare benefits in the country, granting more people access to better living conditions. With constant investments in workforce development, it has also equipped them with an invaluable repertoire of skills and industry knowledge, and secured them a more purposeful future. In addition, the firmly established value system of the corporation has provided guidance and facilitated the transformation of the impressionable youth in to exemplary citizens of their communities.
Another aspect of OSM Holdings’ CSR initiatives is its involvement in disaster management. In collaboration with Sri Lanka’s government and other key entities, the organization disseminates its resources and expertise in aid of fulfilling the logistics needs that may arise during a geomorphological or other catastrophe. Especially during the Tsunami disaster in 2004, the company played a prominent role and has since extended its services in a similar capacity during the country’s hour of need.
