Roofings has been honoured with NEMA’s 2025 Environmental Sustainability Award for its consistent and advanced air pollution control measures - setting a benchmark for Uganda’s steel, manufacturing, and construction industries.
Roofings has continued to demonstrate why it’s the leader, in environmental stewardship. In June 2025, the company secured the National Environment Sustainability Award from NEMA Uganda, recognizing its steadfast implementation of air pollution control measures. This accolade highlights not just Roofings’ commitment to sustainability, but also its vital role in shaping greener standards across Uganda’s construction and energy sectors.

How Roofings’ Pollution Control Strategy Stands Out
Roofings didn’t just meet compliance - they invested heavily in cutting-edge systems:
Installed state-of-the-art air filtration (APC) and scrubber systems, including regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs), to capture hazardous pollutants and VOCs.
Invested approximately USD 2 million in advanced pollution control infrastructure at its Namanve steel plant, raising the bar for air quality standards in Uganda’s manufacturing sector.
Implemented rigorous, real-time monitoring and maintenance protocols to keep performance at peak levels.
Why This Matters for Uganda’s Industries
Steel & Manufacturing: As a leading steel company, Roofings demonstrates how heavy industries can integrate environmental controls without sacrificing productivity—crucial for a sector powering Uganda’s infrastructure growth.
Construction & Real Estate: Cleaner steel production supports sustainable urban development important for booming projects like high-rise apartments and modern commercial hubs in Kampala and emerging towns.
Energy & Infrastructure: With Uganda expanding its energy portfolio hydropower, solar, and regional grid upgrades - Roofings’ emissions management aligns with national goals for cleaner industrial feedstock.
Roofings’ leadership sets a benchmark that encourages peer companies, including in cement, mining, and transport, to adopt similar pollution prevention measures - amplifying environmental gains across sectors.
