The Mexican Center for Philanthropy has given CEMEX its
recognition as a Socially Responsible Company for the
ninth consecutive year. The company's CSR programs have
benefited over 5 million people in the past 11 years. The
recognition was given during the V Congress of Socially
Responsible Latin-American Companies which took place on
March 13 in Mexico City.
Social Responsibility is at the core of CEMEX's business
model, and in 2011 the company strengthened its programs
such as Community Development Centers, los Centros
Productivos de Autoempleo (Productive Self-Employment
Centers), Patrimonio Hoy, Improve Your Street, among many
others that work along with communities, governments, NGOs,
and the private sector.
Additionally, CEMEX supports small and medium businesses
that are part of its value chain such as suppliers,
clients, or contractors, so that they can integrate Social
Responsibility into their business practices. This helps
improve their productivity and the quality of their
products and services, at the same time that it fosters the
growth of its employees and community development.
CEMEX, throughout its global operations, engages in an
ongoing dialogue in order to better understand the needs
and concerns of the communities in which it operates. The
company then leverages its core business strengths,
including its institutional knowledge and experience, its
employees' talent and time, and its social investments,
to support the social and economic development of those
communities.
