Building Biodiversity - The CEMEX UK Biodiversity Strategy 2010-2020
In September 2010, CEMEX UK and the RSPB launched a biodiversity strategy for CEMEX's operations in the UK to enrich nature. Within it CEMEX has committed to challenging targets covering its operations in the UK, including the creation and maintenance of 1,000 hectares of priority habitats by 2020. This is the equivalent to approximately 100 hectares per annum and represents a major investment in protecting and promoting nature and wildlife for future generations to enjoy.

Lend-a-hand for nature - A case study in employee volunteering
When charity organisations consider seeking support from the corporate sector they usually think money. But companies also have products, services, skills and people, all of which can be a vital source of support to the non-profit sector. For example many large multinational companies now actively encourage employees to volunteer. They do this because they believe it is ultimately good for business.

 Alternative fuels

 

 Restoration

 

Using alternative fuels, including secondary liquid fuels, chipped tyres and household waste, to part-replace fossil fuels to heat cement kilns are key to improving environmental performance.

CEMEX strives to minimise the impact of extraction and involve local communities in opportunities around the after use of land to enhance the environment.

 

 Communities

 

 Product innovation

 

Building products are essential for development, quality of life and the creation of sustainable communities. CEMEX works with local communities to balance impact against the need for minerals.

CEMEX considers the full product life cycle to ensure that new product developments and service innovations are aligned to the sustainability commitment.

 

 Logistics solutions

     

CEMEX makes more than four million deliveries a year, by road, rail, sea and water, and is working to minimise road journeys and reduce emissions.
