Calton Group continues its annual stationary distribution program, empowering the education of employees’ children. 

Continuing a Tradition of Supporting Young Learners

Education is one of the most powerful tools to shape the future of children. Recognising this, Calton Group has continued its project to distribute stationeries for children of its staff, contributing to their educational journey. This initiative, which has been a tradition for several years, demonstrates Calton’s commitment to the well-being of its employees and their families. For 2025, the program officially kicked off at the Negombo Thelwatta Outlet (C7) with the presence of the Chairperson of the Calton Group, setting the tone for a meaningful initiative that will reach all Calton outlets across Sri Lanka. The event created a joyful and hopeful environment for the staff and their children. Amid the everyday work, the event fostered a relaxing environment to the staff as well. 

Empowering Education Through School Supplies

The program was initially started with the main objective to contribute to empowering education. Calton Group, then came up with the idea of implementing this focusing on its greatest asset, their staff. The program launched by distributing stationary to the children of the staff for their new term at the school. By offering these supplies, Calton helps ease the financial burden of back-to-school preparations, ensuring that every child starts the academic year prepared and confident. It fosters a culture where employees feel supported not only in their professional lives but also in their personal responsibilities as parents. By equipping young learners with shoes, bags, and stationeries they need, Calton encourages a positive learning experience that can have a lasting impact on their academic journey.

Reaching Every Outlet Across the Country

While the launch event was held at Negombo Thelwatta Outlet (C7), the program will continue to cover all Calton outlets, ensuring that the children of staff members nationwide benefit from this initiative. By organising the distribution at multiple locations, Calton ensures that every child in the Calton family feels included and valued.

This annual initiative reinforces the company’s philosophy that business success is not only measured in numbers but also in the positive impact it creates for its employees and the wider community. It is a perfect example of how corporate responsibility can be intertwined with the company’s culture and values.

A Message to the World

At Calton, supporting education is seen as a key step toward empowering the next generation. Programs like the annual school stationery distribution show that organisations can make meaningful contributions by investing in children’s education and creating opportunities for growth. By continuing this tradition, Calton inspires other companies to recognise the value of employee welfare, education, and community support. Small acts of support can lead to big opportunities, and every child equipped with the right tools is a step toward a brighter, more confident future.

Through initiatives like this, Calton continues to strengthen its identity as a caring employer and a company that truly values its people and their families, building a legacy of education, empowerment, and community support.
