In the 1950 Settlor of the Rohan Foundation, Anthoney Peiris conceived, the idea of a business that would help restore the fortunes of his country’s ailing Construction industry, , whilst sharing the benefits of that business with the community. Peiris believed that no business was possible without the combined efforts, involvement and commitment of workers, staff, clients, consumers, stake holders and in the case of fast changing environment. He was determined that his business should be a matter of human service.
Rohan Foundation represents an alternative economic model, it transcends charity and corporate social responsibility one that is a genuinely sustainable and fair way of doing business. This ‘way’ acknowledges that social justice, community and the environment are integral elements in any business process not as options or part of marketing led Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy but as a core feature of the business objectives.
Rohan Group of companies maintains a clear understanding of the role of the wider community, the environment, workers and staff in making its business possible. Acknowledging this reality, the personal funds and assets of Founder, Mr.Anthoney Peiris and his family as well as a significant share of the revenue of the Rohan group of companies fund the work of the Rohan Foundation. As the companies develop, so does the work of the Foundation. Not only that, to ensure the consistency of this foundation, the board of directors has provision 25% of company profit for the development of under privileged people.
