During the Annual Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU) Development Awards Gala, held on December 6, 2024, at the Kampala Serena Hotel, Hima Cement was recognized with the CSR – ESG Champion of the Year Award.
This recognition underscores Hima Cement’s commitment to advancing Environmental,
Social, and Governance standards throughout the scale of its operations and
setting a benchmark for the construction sector through
sustainable practices.
The company is focused on creating shared value for all its stakeholders
and particularly, the host communities where we operate.
Hima Cement’s commitment to its host communities’ social-economic growth
is highlighted in the company’s social investments, such as the Hima Cement
Community Scholarship Program which serves under privileged students to access
secondary school education; it’s partnerships with Auro Foundation in Tororo
and SOS Children’s Villages in Kabarole for livelihoods development.
The award highlights the tangible impact of these efforts in driving
social-economic growth within host communities and bringing the company’s ESG strategy to
life. By
maintaining a focus on innovation, Hima Cement continues to make significant progress
on ESG challenges such as decarbonization, biodiversity and water management, and
energy efficiency.
