57First Capital Holdings PLC, a subsidiary of JXG (Janashakthi Group) and a pioneering full-service investment institution, has been recognised for its excellence in integrated reporting at the CMA Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards 2025. The recognition reinforces the organisation’s commitment to transparency, purposeful communication, and disciplined value creation.
First Capital was honoured as the Best Integrated Report in the Investment Banking sector and received a Merit Award for overall excellence in integrated reporting. Commenting on this achievement, Dilshan Wirasekara, Managing Director/CEO of First Capital Holdings PLC, stated that CMA-led programmes promote a balanced and progressive reporting culture that blends financial and non-financial insights. He noted that this recognition reflects the company’s continued focus on clarity, quality and accountability in communicating its strategy and performance.
Mangala Jayashantha, Chief Financial Officer of First Capital Holdings PLC, added that the awards reaffirm the company’s commitment to integrated reporting practices that align with global standards. He emphasised that the organisation remains dedicated to helping stakeholders gain a holistic understanding of both its performance and the wider priorities that guide long-term value creation.
The CMA Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards, organised for the 11th consecutive year by the Institute of Certified Management Accountants of Sri Lanka and supported by the Colombo Stock Exchange as Strategic Partner, encourage companies to embrace reporting that demonstrates how value is created over time. The programme continues to set the benchmark for responsible, forward-looking corporate reporting among listed and unlisted companies as well as state institutions.
This year’s recognition aligns closely with First Capital’s annual report theme “Exponential” which captures the organisation’s journey of accelerating progress, expanding reach and creating deeper impact. The narrative reflects how the company is advancing financial inclusiveness, simplifying investment knowledge and unlocking greater access through digital enablement and client-centric innovation. It highlights the shared purpose that connects every business line, every team and every client interaction, and affirms that when driven by purpose, growth does not advance step by step, but it accelerates.
These achievements strengthen First Capital’s standing as a trusted leader in Sri Lanka’s investment sector, recognised for disciplined reporting, strong governance and a clear commitment to long-term stakeholder value.
