Siam City Cement (Bangladesh) Ltd. (SCCBD), popularly known as INSEE Cement, a subsidiary of Siam City Cement PLC, is one of Thailand's most significant investments in Bangladesh's manufacturing industry. As one of the producers of premium cement in Bangladesh, INSEE Cement prides itself on its outstanding quality and commitment to excellence. SCCBD is anchored on four major commitments: working as a team, doing what is right, challenging conventions, and caring about our future.
In alignment with the company's “Sustainability Ambition 2030,” SCCBD launched this year's CSR activities with the esteemed presence of the Thai Ambassador to Bangladesh, Her Excellency Makawadee Sumitmore. The CSR program was inaugurated in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy of Bangladesh, marking a significant contribu- tion towards community development and environmental sustainability.
The CSR initiatives included the planting of 500 trees 
and substantial improvements to Sonakanda Beparipar Government Primary School, the nearest government primary school in our community, which currently serves 550 students. Recognizing the urgent need for electrical and water supply line maintenance due to their deteriorated condition, SCCBD took proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the students. Given the extensive formalities required for maintenance in government institutions, SCCBD undertook this responsibility as part of its commitment to safety and community welfare.
In addition to the maintenance of electrical and sanitary facilities, SCCBD contributed to other essential improvements, including painting the school building, providing ceiling fans, pedestrian fans, and chairs for classrooms and the teacher's room. These initiatives are aimed at creating a safe and conducive learning environment for the students.
The CSR program of INSEE Cement Bangladesh was officially inaugurated by Her Excellency, Makawadee Sumitmore, Ambassador of Thailand to Bangladesh, alongside Mr. Mahmud Hasan, CEO and Managing Director of Siam City Cement (Bangladesh) Ltd., delegates from the Royal Thai Embassy, and employees of INSEE Cement Bangladesh. During the CSR inauguration, the Royal Thai Ambassador, Her Excellency, visited the SCCBD plant located in Bandar, Narayanganj. During her visit, Her Excellency shared valuable insights on SCCBD's sustainable development goals and engaged in discussions with the employees, exchanging views on various initiatives and strategies for achieving these objectives. This event underscores SCCBD's commitment to sustainability, safety, and community development, setting a precedent for future initiatives that aim to make a positive impact on society and the environment.
