Together, these certifications showcase INSEE’s holistic approach to reducing environmental impact, delivering high-quality, reliable cement solutions to the market.
INSEE Cement Chief Operating Officer Thusith Gunawarnasuriya said: “The achievement is a proud moment for INSEE and for Sri Lanka.

We are committed to building stronger structures, and a greener nation.”
