Sysco LABS, the Global Innovation Center of Sysco, has been honored with the title of one of Sri Lanka’s Most Outstanding Women-Friendly Workplaces for 2026. This prestigious recognition was awarded at the Women-Friendly Workplace Awards 2026, showcasing the company’s highest achievement in this category so far. The accolade underscores Sysco LABS’ commitment to fostering an environment where women are not only encouraged to enter and engage in the technology sector but also to grow, advance, and pursue fulfilling careers in the field.

The 2026 awards, organized by Satynmag, signify a six-year initiative focused on moving beyond mere intentions to achieve tangible and quantifiable advancements for women in the workplace. This year, the awards took a deeper look into the question: beyond mere representation, how far can women progress in a women-friendly workplace? The achievement for Sysco LABS is also indicative of the company’s growing acknowledgment in the realm of women-friendly workspaces.

Following an "Honorable Mention" in 2023 and a special award for “Best Women in STEM Project” in 2025, this year marks the first instance where Sysco LABS has been named one of Sri Lanka’s Most Outstanding Women-Friendly Workplaces. This milestone reflects the company’s relentless pursuit to create a supportive and progressive workplace for women, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
