INSEE Cement, a leader in sustainable building materials, has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation at the 13th Annual Green Building Awards Ceremony 2024, organised by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka.

INSEE Cement was recognised with a prestigious award for its exceptional contributions to sustainability, innovation, and environmental stewardship in the construction industry.

These accolades not only reflect the hard work, commitment and passion of every member of the INSEE team but also underscore the company’s dedication to shaping a greener future for Sri Lanka and beyond.

A major milestone for INSEE Cement was the recertification of flagship product, INSEE Sanstha; Portland Composite Cement, as a Green Labelled Product by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka. For the first time, this product earned an outstanding 5-star rating, making INSEE the first cement company in the industry to achieve this prestigious recognition. This achievement was made possible by our existing Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) certification, which aligns with the ISO 14025 standard. The EPD is a globally recognised framework that provides detailed, standardised, and third party-verified information into the environmental performance of products throughout their lifecycle.

CEO/Chairman Nandana Ekanayaka said: “We are proud to be the first cement company in Sri Lanka to receive the 5-Star Green Label Certification for INSEE Sanstha; Portland Composite Cement product specially developed for highly durable concrete and other construction applications. This recognition is a testament to our team’s tireless dedication to creating eco-friendly, sustainable solutions for the construction industry. At INSEE, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and this award reinforces our leadership in providing innovative, environmentally responsible products to our customers.”

INSEE said these recognitions not only highlight the Company’s commitment to sustainable practices but also reinforce the company’s role as a pioneer in the local construction sector.
