CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

“ Purpose with Passion to drive Progress ”

Dear Members, It gives me great pleasure in presenting to you this Annual Report and Audited Accounts of The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) for the period ending 31st March 2020. Being our Centenary year, 2019 was an important one for the CILT family. As we approached the 36th year of CILT, we continued to strengthen the activities derived from the strategic plan under the three strategic pillars through focused initiatives executed with rigour, where results had been greatly encouraging.

Driving Membership Growth Our members are our greatest asset. During the past year, we provided them with value added services, while new members were reached via Road Shows, which was our proven formula for success. Twenty (20) Road Shows were conducted during this period in all sectors with clear communication on member benefits, expanding membership evaluation panel and evaluation lead times were improved. As a result , overall membership grew by 79% (excluding student members). Six Fellow members, the highest inducted during a year and a significant

increase in CMILT and MILT members were noted. New members grew by 98% while upgrades increased by 43%. Member achievements were recognized and their articles featured in the Link magazine. CILT Sri Lanka was also appointed to evaluate CILT international membership applications for Indian Ocean Islands (IOI). CILT expanded its reach to Central and Southern provinces and plans have been put in place to increase the footprint to other Provinces as well. Membership also grew across sectors due to the focused efforts of the four sectional committees.

Corporate Partners I am thankful to our Corporate Partners (CP) who continued to support CILT. Four new partners joined hands with us during the year. Inspite of the Covid-19 impact our CP member contribution is greatly appreciated. Shortly, CILT will be launching the International Business Forum (IBF) and CILT Sri Lanka has been chosen to conduct the pilot with CILT Australia prior to rolling out this initiative globally. The IBF will immensely benefit our CPs. Annual Report 2019

CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

Publicity and Branding Top of mind awareness and reach has increased considerably due to numerous initiatives undertaken by sub committees and the publicity given. A special print edition of the Link magazine was published in November 2019 to commemorate the Centenary year. Revamping the layout design and improvement to the content gave a new look to the Link magazine. The positive feedback received from the membership for the magazine is encouraging. I am thankful to the young Editorial team for their enthusiasm to improve the magazine to provide a more professional outlook.

Strengthening the Secretariat The Secretariat staff was trained to improve their effectiveness with an external resource. Clear role clarity through job descriptions, investment in a new membership database, RFID enabled membership card, introduction of a Point of Sales (POS) system for payments, and document archiving system further strengthened the CILT Secretariat activities. We were in the last stage of realizing our long awaited goal to reincorporate CILT and the gazette was at the cabinet approval stage when the parliament was dissolved in February 2020. We are hopeful that we can commence from the final stage once the new parliament resumes. CILT By-Laws were ratified at the 2019 AGM and its now in use.

Resilient Response

As a leading professional body, CILT adjusted to the new normal by engaging in activities, which the situation demanded. A donation was made to NHSL and Army with medical items; an ideathon and webinars were conducted. Ideathon responded to the needs of the time, was well executed by the young team and demonstrated the capabilities of CILT to rise up to the occasion. CILT would develop an incubating platform shortly to support the operationalization of these ideas.

Appreciation I am greatful to CILT Council, WiLAT Executive Committee, YPF Core Committee, Membership, our Corporate Partners and the Secretariat Staff for their unstinted support and commitment to make the past two years of my term productive. As I hand over the baton to my successor, I wish the incoming Council well in taking CILT to greater heights and wish CILT Sri Lanka every success for the future. Thank you.

Gayani de Alwis, CMILT Chairperson CILT

In response to Covid-19, CILT locally and globally engaged in activities to meet the threat, supporting the local response. As a result of the enforced curfew, CILT AGM and our usual engagements could not be done as planned. Annual Report 2019

STRONGER TOGETHER

ABOUT US

The Leading International Professional Body for everyone who works within supply chain, Logistics and Transport.

How we began At the Savoy Hotel in London, on 3rd November 1919, a group of senior transport professionals met determined to change the world of logistics and transport. In the First World War they had seen the failures

of moving goods and vehicles. Now in peacetime they wanted to create a professional body that would make a difference and set new standards. This was the birth of the Institute of Transport.

Sir. Eric Geddes 1st President of Institute of Transport, UK

How we progressed The group’s initial aims were to improve transport efficiency, enable transport integration and encourage talent development in the transport industry. Aims that we still strive to achieve today. In 1926 we were granted a Royal Charter by King George V with himself as the Patron and the Prince of Wales as the Honorary President. The Institute grew in importance and

Annual Report 2019

influence across the world. We established territorial organizations in ten countries and in 1971 we were granted the name of the Chartered Institute of Transport by Queen Elizabeth II. In 2001 we became the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport as the two leading professional bodies joined together.

Corporate Partnership Program (CPP) Corporate partnership program is one of the key priority focus areas for CILT globally with a view to uplift the image of CILT and to promote the profession among the Corporates. CILT Sri Lanka launched its CPP in October 2011. Over the past few years CILT

has seen a steady increase in the number of Corporate Partners. CILT's global strategic thrust is to have an inclusive approach to include all stakeholders engaged in logistics, transport, associated services which could be broadly categorized under the following categories:

Operators - Directly involved in providing logistics and transport services Suppliers - Companies providing products and services to logistics companies Manufacturers - Users of logistics services Retailers/Sellers - Those who require logistics services Education - Academic institutions providing logistics related programs Military Government In order to adopt a more inclusive approach CILT Sri Lanka revamped its CPP in January 2018. Under the revamped CPP, Corporates can choose between four corporate partner packages namely, Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze to partner with CILT Sri Lanka. In the new CP scheme, CPs who have been with CILT CP program from the inception in 2011 were recognized as Patron Partners. Out of the 15 originally inducted as CPs 13 have been continuing with CILT and are categorized as Patron Partners. The CP program is an annually renewable contract and the term is from 31st December 2019 to 1st January 2020. As at 1st January 2020 CILT had 27 CPs enrolled

36

Annual Report 2019

under the revamped CPP. In view of Covid-19 impact five (05) CPs had decided not to renew their commitments for 2020. Three (03) CPs are having discussion with CILT. However four (04) new CPs, Fonterra Brands Pvt Ltd, Ocean University, Emergent Cold and TWS joined this year making the total CP number 22. The Corporate Partnership Program is a unique opportunity for companies to partner with CILT Sri Lanka, for mutual benefit. CILT is hopeful that the CPs who did not renew will rejoin the program next year and reap the benefits.
