Sri Lanka renowned the world over as the resplendent isle, immersed in nature and cultural inspirations, has over the years produced men, women and institutions of Excellence in different fields. The great irrigation works, finely sculptured statues, the sensuous rock paintings are a testimony to a bygone era of Excellence.

In more recent times, Sri Lanka has produced national leaders, business leaders, writers, artists, economists, sportsmen and women (the list is endless) who have left behind a legacy of Excellence for the future generations to emulate.

Needless to say, these greats have touched and enriched out lives in no small measure. It is this spirit of Excellence that we try to recapture in the National Business Excellence Awards, not so much in terms of the individual, but of the team.

The National Business Excellence Awards is designed to recognize the Business Organizations making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the country, through exemplary business practices. A team of best professionals have worked out the criteria for the marking scheme, judging, designing the trophies, and many other details critical to the Excellence, of the event. Having commenced in 2004 as NBEA 2004 the National Business Excellence Awards have recognized the top class business which excelled in their performance every year.

The National Business Excellence Awards is an annual award competition conducted by National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) with a view to recognizing the business enterprises, which have demonstrated excellence in business whilst contributing to the economic progress of the country.
