INSEE accompanied the Kien Giang Province Environmental Day

In early June 2024, INSEE Vietnam accompanied Kien Giang Environmental Day, organised by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Rach Gia People's Committee, Kien Giang Youth Union, and the International Organisation for Conservation of Nature in Vietnam.

Through this programme, INSEE sponsored many table plant pots, probiotics and Lepironia grass bags to spread good messages to local people about green lifestyle, raising people's awareness and responsibility for environmental protection.

As a company operating in the cement industry, INSEE understands the responsibility of businesses in balancing the interests of the company and community sustainability.

The company has integrated sustainability into its business chain. Practical results towards this goal will become easier when stakeholders and partners in INSEE's value chain join hands and work together. Therefore, the company recently coordinated with localities and partners to organise programmes for World Environment Day.

INSEE Hon Chong plant in Kien Luong district, Kien Giang province organised the programme "Waste Exchange" for local people

In addition, INSEE Hon Chong Cement Plant coordinated with the Department of Natural Resources, Environment in Kien Luong district and Duong Hoa People's Committee to organise the programme "Waste Exchange."

The programme attracted 500 gift exchanges from local people. The gifts were mainly necessities sponsored by INSEE with each exchange corresponding to the number of points set by the organisers.

At the end of the programme, INSEE collected 401kg of common household waste including plastic bottles, milk cartons, plastic bags, waste paper, cardboard and 105kg of electronic waste such as batteries, light bulbs, remotes, and electronic boards.

INSEE is not only a leader in greening the entire product portfolio, but also a pioneer in treating hazardous and non-hazardous waste for industries in Vietnam. The company co-process waste from industries, and from there, generate thermal energy to serve the company's production needs instead of using coal.

During more than 15 years of operation as a waste co-processing service, INSEE Ecocycle has co-processed more than 1.7 million tons of waste (instead of burying it - affecting the land and water environment) at the INSEE Hon Chong plant, thereby, indirectly reducing carbon emissions by more than 1.5 million tonnes.

In the spirit of responding to World Environment Day, INSEE Ecocycle has accompanied customers to organise waste collection activities and training programmes to respond to chemical spills. Specifically, through waste collection activities at the factory, volunteers collected 183kg of waste and trained more than 200 employees through a training programme to respond to chemical spills, contributing to preserving a green - clean - and beautiful environment, protecting human health from negative impacts from spills during work.

With all the efforts that have been, are being and will be made towards the goal of environmental protection, INSEE hopes to raise people's awareness of classifying waste at source and the awareness of protecting the living environment because every small action will contribute to bringing great value to the community.
