Touching Lives

Our Commitment

The East African Portland Cement Company is committed to conduct business in ways that produce social, environmental and economic benefits for our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.

EAPCC works hard to better the quality of life and welfare of our neighboring communities. We regularly consult with community leaders, Governmental bodies, employees and various stakeholders to gather information about important local needs and develop initiatives to build stronger and healthier relationships with our communities.
Continuing with our long history of corporate social awareness, the Company’s aim is to contribute to a sustainable future in all regions in the country.

Environment

EAPCC is continually committed to protecting the environment. In the last financial year, EAPCC staff members and the local community took a giant leap in all matters environment by planting over 20, 000 seedlings in various locations including the Company premises as well as in various parts of the country such as Mavoko Municipality, Rongo Town Council, Awendo Town Council and Manyatta High School.

The signing of the Carbon Credit Trading Agreement with JP Morgan Climate Care helps EAPCC reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 105,000 tons per year. This reduction has in turn seen the Company realize in excess of Shs 80, 000,000 annually from carbon sales. Also notable is the growing of jatropha curcas trees at the company which will be harvested and used to prepare Bio Diesel for the plant.

The Company continues to support the tree-planting campaign that was spearheaded by the late Prof. Wangari Maathai. We maintain a well-established and developed nursery where indigenous seedlings suitable to different climates are nurtured before distribution.

In the last financial year, the Company donated 2,000 indigenous seedlings to staff which they planted in various locations. The Company donated 500 seedlings to surrounding schools and 1,200 seedlings were donated to the Kenneth Marende Environmental Conservation Program to help restore degraded water catchment areas such as Mau Forest.

Health

EAPCC is fully committed towards the general health and wellbeing of its employees and surrounding communities. The Company has conducted aggressive healthcare campaigns such as an Anti- cholera drive and Influenza immunizations that were conducted for staff members, their families and the surrounding community.

The company, in support of the Kenya National Aids Strategic Plan (2009/10-2012/13), sponsors a Moonlight Voluntary Counseling and Testing program which is conducted at night. The programme provides VCT services to high risk groups such as transport workers and commercial sex workers at their convenience, as well as other groups of people that may not want to access VCT services during conventional hours. This service is offered quarterly and has had an average of two hundred clients counseled and tested per session.

The company has a robust anti-drug and substance abuse programme which is offered to the community and staff. Abuse of drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm. EAPCC facilitates the counseling and rehabilitation of drug addicts and affected employees and their dependents. This enriches the organizational culture and enhances productivity. Youth groups from within the municipality have also been involved in the company’s peer education exercise in a bid to create awareness on the negative impacts of drug and substance abuse to individuals, organizations and to the society at large.
