INSEE Cement races ahead with its sustainability ambition for 2030 and to Build for Life in Sri Lanka

INSEE Cement Sri Lanka is forging ahead with a “green” ambition to fulfill its economic, environmental, and social responsibilities to the people of Sri Lanka and become one of the foremost sustainability advocates in the country by 2030.

In its Sustainability Report 2020/2021 released this week, INSEE Cement has highlighted the significant and tangible progress in the areas of climate and energy, strengthening the circular economy, and protecting biodiversity and water. Additionally, the report includes concrete actions taken to ensure the occupational health and safety of its workforce and galvanize communities and other stakeholders, which are key aspects of INSEE Cement’s 2030 sustainability ambition.

Delivering the keynote address at an event to mark the report’s launch, Secretary to the Ministry of Environment Dr. Anil Jasinghe highlighted the important role of corporates in climate action and appreciated the significant efforts INSEE Cement has accomplished. “The future of this country is in the hands of green development. This does not mean compromising on economic growth,” he said.  “Industries must contribute to nationally driven efforts on green development. If not, we run the restrict of losing out our competitiveness in the global market. A very important aspect is ensuring good governance pragmatically and rationally.”
