HNB Assurance and HNB General Insurance have shown the commitment to improving the lives of those in need by donating a School Water Project to Nikawewa Anura Maha Vidyalaya. This project provides clean drinking water to the students during school hours, helping to ensure their health and wellbeing. The donation is particularly significant for less privileged schools, which often lack the resources to provide basic necessities like clean drinking water. The donation of a School Water Project is a wonderful example of corporate social responsibility in action. HNB Assurance and HNB General Insurance have demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact on the community, by addressing a critical need in the education system. The provision of clean drinking water will not only improve the health of the students but also provide them with a better learning environment, helping them to focus on their studies and achieve their full potential. The School Water Project is a tangible expression of HNB Assurance and HNB General Insurance's dedication to improving the lives of those in need. The provision of clean drinking water during school hours is a small but meaningful step towards a brighter future for the students of Nikawewa Anura Maha Vidyalaya and a testament to the company's commitment to making a positive impact in the community. This donation will have a lasting impact on the lives of the students and the community as a whole, and serves as a model for other companies to follow.

HNB Assurance continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and community empowerment through an expanded partnership with Biodiversity Sri Lanka, who, together with the Federation of Environmental Organizations (FEO), works to create safer habitats for elephants, reduce human-elephant conflict, and provide meaningful employment opportunities for local communities. This initiative reflects HNB Assurance’s dedication to fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife while supporting rural livelihoods. By restoring natural ecosystems, the program not only safeguards endangered species but also uplifts families through sustainable income generation. Building on the 30 hectares of land already restored, the latest phase of this project adds another 15 hectares, reinforcing the organization’s long-term vision for environmental stewardship and social impact. These efforts aim to reduce human-elephant conflict, protect biodiversity, and create a positive ripple effect across communities that depend on these ecosystems. Through this collaboration, HNB Assurance demonstrates that conservation is not just about protecting nature—it is about creating harmony between wildlife and people. Together with its partners, the company is making a lasting difference for the environment and future generations.

The decision to join Biodiversity Sri Lanka (BSL) in 2023 was guided by the company’s environmental protection pillar, one of three under its sustainability and CSR framework. The project began with the restoration of 15 hectares in 2023, which was expanded to 30 hectares in 2024 and is set to continue in the years ahead. By funding clearance and maintenance, HNB Assurance helps restore native vegetation, improve habitats and reduce the human elephant conflict by ensuring wildlife can feed within their natural grounds. Unlike many short lived conservation projects, this initiative is built for longterm resilience. The project uses manual uprooting, multiple maintenance cycles and close monitoring to ensure lasting impact. It also integrates local community participation, creating livelihoods while instilling shared responsibility for conservation. The project has already produced tangible ecological outcomes. Thirty hectares have been restored with native grasses and shrubs regenerating to provide food for elephants, deer and wild boar. Predator species such as jackals and leopards have also returned – a sign of ecosystems regaining balance.
