The Rationale Behind Our New Ambitions

We conceive of sustainability as the only safe way to do business. This implies managing risks and opportunities and coordinating environmental, social, and financial demands relying on a solid governance framework. Sustainability is embedded in CEMEX’s strategy, and thus, it is linked to all functions across our business lines.

Coordinated by the Sustainability team, the process to define CEMEX 2030 Sustainability Ambitions involved collaboration of more than 10 corporate functions. Representatives from all countries and regions were also active participants in this effort, given our bottom-up approach to define our commitments with all of our business units accountable for contributing to the global goals’ achievement.

The key inputs considered during our internal discussions and analysis to define these new objectives include:

• 2030 Agenda based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals
• The Paris Agreement on Climate Change
• Milestones in carbon regulated markets
• WBCSD-IEA Low-Carbon Transition in the Cement Industry Roadmap
• Global trends, risks, challenges, and opportunities
• Materiality Matrix
• CEMEX Top Management perspectives
• Key stakeholders’ concerns and interests (e.g., governments, NGOs, universities, ESG analysts, industry associations, etc.)
