CEMEX in Poland achieved first place in the category of industrial and chemical production at this year’s 6th edition of the Ranking of Responsible Companies. In addition, the company was certified as one of Poland’s Top Employers for its exemplary people and organization management practices.

The Ranking of Responsible Companies evaluates a comprehensive list of the largest corporations in Poland in the areas of responsible leadership, dialogue with stakeholders, community involvement, responsible management, and social innovation. Under the auspices of the Responsible Business Forum, the Business Ethics Center at Kozminski University supervised the ranking, which was verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Among a field of 58 companies, CEMEX in Poland received the first place award for its strategy of sustainable development and principles of social responsibility at a ceremony hosted by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, a well known nationwide Polish daily newspaper.

Additionally, of the 32 best companies that successfully completed the Top Employers 2012 certification process in Poland, CEMEX placed among the top three employers. Conducted by the Corporate Research Foundation (CRF), an independent Netherlands-based institute with operations in 13 countries on four continents, the certification process identified top performers in human resource management, leadership, and strategy. The areas audited included basic and fringe benefits, working conditions, training programs, career development, and organizational culture. CRF especially praised CEMEX’s organizational culture.

CEMEX fosters positive, long-term relationships with its key stakeholders to address the pressing needs and concerns of society. Throughout its history, the company has sought to be a good corporate citizen with sustainability being an integral part of its business.
