Reflecting JAT’s steadfast dedication to these values, the awards highlight the Group’s exemplary performance in delivering comprehensive reporting for the benefit of all stakeholders. The accolades demonstrate JAT’s commitment to upholding the highest levels of integrity in both financial and non-financial reporting, emphasizing a profound dedication to fostering sustainable growth.

Organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka), the TAGS Awards hold a venerable status as one of Sri Lanka’s most respected corporate awards platforms. It serves as an esteemed forum that recognizes and honors excellence in annual financial reporting. For five decades, the competition has been a guiding light for the country’s corporate sector, promoting principles of transparency, accountability, good governance, and sustainability. This enduring commitment has played a crucial role in strengthening Sri Lanka’s financial landscape and the corporate sector.

JAT Holdings has demonstrated a commitment to providing stakeholders with a nuanced understanding of its operations, not confined to financial metrics alone. Comprehensive, transparent reporting has been a cornerstone of this endeavor. The company’s reports delve into the intricacies of both financial and non-financial aspects, offering a comprehensive view of its financials, operations, ESG goals and metrics, social development activities, and governance matters, and provides a transparent overview of all that JAT Holdings PLC stands for and strives for.

Such lofty reporting standards and a commitment to transparency have supported the Group as it continuously reaches new and exciting milestones. Earlier in the year, JAT recorded its highest-ever export revenues during the 2nd quarter of FY 2023/24, attributed to market expansion. Meanwhile, its global operations are proceeding at an exceptional pace, paving the way for JAT Holdings PLC to emerge as a leading regional conglomerate. Accordingly, the Group believes that ensuring stakeholders have access to updated and comprehensive information is crucial for the continued growth and success of its various businesses.

Transparency, a key pillar in JAT’s corporate philosophy, has played a pivotal role in building trust among stakeholders. Open communication channels and a willingness to share both successes and challenges contribute to a transparent corporate culture. This, in turn, fosters a relationship of trust with investors, customers, and the wider community.

Sustainability also lies at the heart of JAT’s business strategy, extending beyond simple regulatory compliance. The company actively engages in sustainable practices, from responsible sourcing of materials to eco-friendly manufacturing processes and community upliftment. JAT Holdings recognizes that a commitment to sustainability is a fundamental responsibility towards the environment and future generations. JAT Pintharoo Shilpee Abhiman – an ongoing program to uplift skilled wood craftsmen and provide them with sponsored, fast-tracked NVQ Certification in partnership with NAITA, along with many other ongoing community development initiatives for wood craftsmen – is a shining example of JAT’s unrelenting commitment to its principles and corporate values.

The awards it secured at the 58th Annual TAGS Awards affirm that JAT Holdings PLC’s commitment to TAGS principles is guided by its corporate philosophy, which permeates every aspect of its operations. As the Group celebrates this exciting success, JAT Holdings PLC reaffirms its commitment to transparency, accountability, governance, and sustainability as part of its ongoing journey of excellence.

JAT Holdings PLC is the market leader in wood coatings and brushes in Sri Lanka, with a dominant presence in the paints, and luxury home and office furnishing sectors.
