As one of the pioneers in the cement industry in Vietnam, INSEE always puts sustainable development and environmental protection at the heart of its business strategy. Kien Giang has a rich ecosystem with many rare species of flora and fauna and is also home to INSEE's largest cement factory, which plays an important role in the company's business operations. Therefore, the company has implemented many conservation programs to minimize environmental impacts and protect the local ecosystem.

At the meeting, INSEE Vietnam and Kien Giang Radio and Television agreed on cooperation contents to promote communication work on biodiversity protection. Accordingly, the two sides will coordinate to produce promotional programs such as the "Kien Giang Beautiful Photo Contest" to disseminate information about the importance of biodiversity for the sustainable development of the locality. Maintaining cooperation with Kien Giang Radio and Television Station marks an important step forward in efforts to raise public awareness. INSEE believes that, with the support of media partners and the cooperation of the community, we can create positive and long-term impacts, contributing to the protection of the natural environment and sustainable development in Kien Giang.

In 2025, INSEE Vietnam signed a cooperation agreement with Phu My Species Habitat Conservation Area (Giang Thanh district, Kien Giang province) to carry out conservation activities, typically: clearing alien plants (mimosa and water hyacinth) that encroach on biodiversity in the conservation area (March 2025), continuing to plant Melaleuca and native plants in the area (June & July 2025), and organizing training for staff in the conservation area on biodiversity conservation from August 2025.

Over the years, INSEE Vietnam has been closely coordinating with environmental organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Southern Institute of Ecology (SIE), the International Crane Society, authorities and local communities to implement ecological restoration projects, contributing to the protection of biodiversity in Kien Giang province.
