21Sri Lanka's largest exporter, MAS Holdings has secured six awards at the Presidential Environmental Awards 2026, showcasing the environmental performance and sustainability efforts of its operational facilities across Sri Lanka.
Organised by the Central Environmental Authority (CEA), the awards ceremony was held on October 19, 2026, at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), under the patronage of Hon. Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya. The awards recognise individuals and organisations across sectors for their contributions to environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
In the Apparel Industries category, MAS Shadeline received the Gold Award while MAS Asialine secured Silver. In the Textile Processing Industries category, MAS Vaanavil and Silueta both received Silver Awards. MAS Slimtex and Linea Aqua received Merit Awards in the Apparel Industries category.
The recognition reflects MAS’ continued efforts to integrate environmental responsibility into its manufacturing operations, with a focus on reducing environmental impact, improving resource efficiency and strengthening sustainable production practices.
These efforts are guided by the Group’s Plan for Change 2030, its sustainability roadmap outlining commitments across three pillars: Product, Lives and Planet. Through this framework, MAS continues to invest in initiatives that address environmental challenges while supporting the long-term resilience of its operations and the communities in which it operates.
The awards also highlight the importance of embedding environmental performance into everyday business practices, particularly within large-scale manufacturing industries. As global supply chains place increasing emphasis on responsible production, strong environmental standards are becoming essential to maintaining international competitiveness and to building long-term partnerships.
For MAS, these recognitions reaffirm its commitment to advancing responsible manufacturing and contributing to Sri Lanka’s broader environmental and sustainable development goals.
