INSEE Cement, Sri Lanka’s leading cement brand and solutions provider, has been awarded the ISO 39001:2012 certification, in recognition of its road traffic safety (RTS) management system. 
This is the first time a private sector entity in Sri Lanka has received this certification.
INSEE Cement Sri Lanka - registered as Siam City Cement (Lanka) Limited - is a member of the Siam City Cement Public Company Limited (SCCC) based in Thailand. INSEE Cement Sri Lanka is also the first among the SCCC Group to receive the certification. 


“ISO 39001:2012 is a landmark certification for Sri Lanka. It recognises the proactive measures INSEE has taken to ensure that our road safety management system is in line with globally recognised international standards,” said INSEE Cement Sri Lanka Chief Executive Officer Jan Kunigk. 
The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 39001:2012 was awarded to INSEE Cement by Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection and certification.  The certification covers both INSEE Cement and its waste management arm INSEE Ecocycle. It provides the template for the best practice for road management in an organisational context. It is designed to help organisations reduce and ultimately eliminate, incidents and risk of deaths and serious injuries due to road traffic crashes. 


“INSEE Cement logistics operations cover over 20 million kilometres each year, due to our broad distribution network reaching the four corners of Sri Lanka and the scale of our operations. With this certification, we are confident that our road traffic safety management system is helping increase road safety, lower road traffic incident rates and curb the risk of injuries or fatalities in our operations,” said INSEE Cement in Sri Lanka Head of Health and Safety Randika Moses.
