“Akin to the lotus that blooms in all its glory above the impure muddy water whilst remaining un-smeared” – the Business Excellence Awards Trophy is created by M/s Dienge for The National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka to honour those Sri Lankan business houses that have excelled in their fields of business.
The tiered base symbolized the initial ascent of the business ladder from the formative stages of a company’s life where an input of much dedication and hard work would have been observed. Rapid growth would have followed to the upper levels of the ladder in terms of quality and fame as denoted by the pillar of the trophy. The pillar tops out to an inverted set of steps where the landing depicts stability. This supports an intricately handcrafted lotus blossom with hand embossed petals of traditional motifs. The inverted sets of steps are created to symbolize the stupendous effort needed to rise to the very top akin to climbing an overhang of rock on a mountain face. The summit contains the aforesaid lotus bloom in all its splendour denoting the purity, prosperity and fame and glory that the business houses which have reached the highest levels of excellence enjoy.”
