Governance, Ethics & Sustainability
Our commitment to conducting business responsibly, ethically and sustainably across every relationship, solution and sector we serve.
Our Commitment
L3 Associates (Pvt) Ltd is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically and sustainably.
As a Sri Lankan company primarily serving the hospitality industry, together with our activities in security technology, specialised equipment and public-sector solutions, we recognise our responsibility towards our customers, employees, international principals, suppliers, business partners, government institutions, communities and the environment.
Five principles guide us
Integrity · Transparency · Respect · Responsibility · Sustainability
Anti-Corruption Commitment
We maintain zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, fraud, kickbacks and improper business practices.
We obtain business through the quality, suitability, competitiveness and value of our products and services—never through improper influence. L3 Associates, its directors, employees and representatives shall not:
- Offer, promise, give, request or accept a bribe or improper payment.
- Offer or accept secret commissions, kickbacks or facilitation payments.
- Use gifts, entertainment, travel or benefits to improperly influence a decision.
- Improperly influence procurement, tender or supplier-selection processes.
- Participate in collusive bidding or distort fair competition.
- Obtain confidential competitor or procurement information improperly.
- Conceal payments through false invoices, expenses or records.
- Use third parties to undertake prohibited conduct.
These principles apply equally across hospitality, private-sector customers, international principals, suppliers and public-sector institutions.
Leadership Commitment to Integrity
The Board and senior management are committed to a corporate culture in which ethical conduct is expected at every level. Management promotes ethical conduct, addresses reported concerns and ensures commercial pressure never overrides the company's ethical obligations.

This commitment is endorsed by the Managing Director and Board of Directors of L3 Associates (Pvt) Ltd.

Employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and stakeholders are encouraged to report suspected bribery, corruption, fraud, conflicts of interest, procurement irregularities, harassment, human-rights concerns, health and safety violations, environmental misconduct or other violations.
Good-faith reports will be treated responsibly and, where reasonably possible, confidentially. L3 Associates does not tolerate retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith.
