“I am extremely proud that INSEE has received the 2022 Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Award as recognition of our ongoing sustainable development objectives and actions,” said Colin Terry, finance director of INSEE Vietnam at the memorable event.

“As the leading construction materials supplier in southern Vietnam, INSEE is a pioneer in applying sustainable initiatives throughout our business activities – in line with the company’s philosophy Build for Life. We live in the value that our company growth must come together with the sustainable development of society to provide a safe environment for the next generation,” he added.

In addition to the aim of bringing green cement products with outstanding quality, INSEE also sets a target to control emissions in its production stages and throughout the products' life cycles.

In particular, INSEE Vietnam is a pioneering company whose entire product portfolio holds the Green Label certificate certified by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC).

The Green Label certificate for INSEE Vietnam Cement products is the result of a strict and comprehensive evaluation process to meet the high standards of SGBC.

Furthermore, INSEE has become the first cement company in Southeast Asia to achieve the international Environmental Product Declaration certificate.

It is deemed a serious commitment for the company to control and reduce the negative impacts on the environment that can be caused by the products and services in this industry. The company is committed to transparently and completely providing the required reports.

INSEE focuses not only on improving technologies to optimise raw materials and control emissions. It also ensures its compliance with the legal regulations in Vietnam and other international standards and on activities for the conservation of biodiversity.

In the past, INSEE has developed projects to restore mining sites and carried out plans for biodiversity protection, including projects to support the Phu My Wetland Nature Reserve and establish the Kien Luong Karst Nature Reserve in the Mekong delta province of Kien Giang in alliance with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in Vietnam.

INSEE also places key importance on its Social Responsibility pillar. The company has been implementing policies and activities in accordance with SEDEX/SMETA standards for businesses to ensure the legal rights of employees to comply with current Vietnamese labour laws.

Moreover, INSEE constantly organises social responsibility activities such as building concrete roads and bridges, repairing and ending houses for disadvantaged households and taking care of many residential citizens throughout southern Vietnam, especially the areas where the company operates.

The 2022 “Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Awards” is the remarkable manner of accreditation and motivation for INSEE to keep moving towards sustainable development, balancing the triple bottom line amongst Economic Growth, Environmental Activities and Social Responsibility, which correctly and clearly illustrates the brand philosophy “Build for Life” that INSEE has been pursuing.
