The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has contributed towards an initiative of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for disaster relief work in Nepal by the Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management (APADM), a regional grouping of which the Chamber is a member.

The APADM, which has also supported Sri Lanka during times of natural disaster, has already despatched a rescue team and established a Field Hospital in Kathmandu.
