Siyapatha Finance Managing Director Mr. Ananda Seneviratne shared:
“The present era we live in does not place enough significance on the impact nature and different ecosystems have on the sustainability of all living things.
Unfortunately, we witness people in general littering everywhere and lacking regard to the Earth we live on.
What we must understand is that man cannot survive without nature and the environment.
Man and nature are two sides of a coin; it is ingrained in our way of living.
We truly believe that Siyapathen Mihikathata is a simple yet powerful reminder to us all to protect and peacefully coexist with our environment, and we as a company plan to continue these efforts in full force in future as well.”
