INSEE reaffirms commitment to Sri Lanka’s environment on World Nature Conservation Day

INSEE Cement Sri Lanka is spearheading initiatives for flora and fauna restoration in Sri Lanka, setting new benchmarks in sustainable corporate practices. Through meaningful collaboration with the Government of Sri Lanka and global organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), INSEE has not only demonstrated its commitment to environmental preservation but also set an inspiring example for other organizations to follow.

On World Nature Conservation Day, INSEE Cement proudly reaffirms its unwavering commitment to nature conservation as a central pillar of the company’s Sustainability Ambition 2030. One of INSEE’s flagship nature conservation projects in Aruwakkalu is a shining example of this commitment. Situated in the Puttalam District, INSEE Cement initiated a ground-breaking restoration effort in 1999 that would preserve the area’s natural value, ecosystems and biodiversity and minimise the impact of excavation work in Aruwakkalu.

Discussing this ongoing project and INSEE’s wider environmental objectives, Jan Kunigk, Chief Executive Officer at INSEE Cement said, “Our environmental conservation work is not merely a checkbox on our sustainability agenda; it is a driving force behind everything we do. It is grounded in our INSEE commitment to care for our environment and for our communities. Marking World Nature Conservation Day, we take this opportunity to reiterate our pledge to preserve Sri Lanka’s biodiversity and protect our planet, working hand-in-hand with key organizations and stakeholders to build a sustainable future.”

INSEE Cement’s dedication to global conservation efforts is further amplified through its partnership with the IUCN. Collaborating closely with an organization renowned for its expertise in nature conservation, INSEE strives to align its initiatives with global conservation efforts, influencing positive change on a larger scale.
