INSEE Cement continues biodiversity conservation efforts

INSEE Cement, Sri Lanka’s #1 cement brand and solutions provider, closed 2022 by continuing to execute a number of large-scale biodiversity conservation projects, investing in the recovery and regeneration of Sri Lanka’s endemic ecosystems for the benefit of generations to come.

With the launch of INSEE Sustainability Ambition 2030 – INSEE’s global group-wide sustainability strategy – INSEE Cement aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other global frameworks, and made social, economic and environmental sustainability a defining part of the company’s identity. One of the fundamental pillars of INSEE’s Sustainability Ambition 2030 is Biodiversity and Water Conservation, a focus area that was organically integrated in to the company’s operations years prior to being formally defined as a key element of the strategy, based on the fundamental nature of its business.

For years, INSEE Cement Sri Lanka has demonstrated a strong commitment to biodiversity conservation by maintaining long-term partnerships with organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and Biodiversity Sri Lanka – a national platform entirely owned and driven by private sector organizations for biodiversity and environmental conservation. The company continued to implement a number of long-term high-impact projects in 2022, with key projects highlighted below:
