“There is no single alternative or technology that will lead to the level of emissions reduction required from the cement sector as a key player in this global challenge. Only a combination of different paths can achieve substantial progress. With this in mind, for almost two decades, CEMEX has implemented an integral carbon emissions reduction strategy across our global operations. As a result of our efforts, this year we reduced our net CO2 emissions per ton of cementitious materials by 21.6% and avoided 7.9 million tons of CO2 compared with our 1990 baseline. This is comparable to offsetting the carbon emissions from 1.4 million homes’ electricity consumption in one year.”80 Statements on Human Rights “Human rights are the fundamental rights, freedoms, and standards of treatment to which all people are entitled. Respecting human rights is reinforced in our core value of ‘Acting with Integrity,’ which is embedded in the way we do business. At CEMEX, we aim to align our strategy and operations with universal principles of human rights. We understand that these principles constitute a global standard of expected corporate conduct applicable to all our operations. Accordingly, we are actively and continuously determined to meet our responsibility to respect all human rights while fostering their respect among our business partners. As a signatory and active participant in the UN Global Compact (UNGC) since 2004, we reaffirm our support of its 10 principles on Human Rights, Labor, Environment, and Anti-Corruption. To demonstrate our strong commitment to these principles, we annually submit an Advanced Communication of Progress (COP) to the UNGC.” 81 Chevron Corporation Statements on Climate Change “We will meet this demand in a way that respects society’s concerns about climate change and aspirations for a cleaner environment — views we share. This requires innovation. In 2018, we launched the $100 million Future Energy Fund, a venture capital fund established to invest in breakthrough technologies. Early investments include an electric vehicle charging network, novel battery technology and direct capture of carbon dioxide from the air. We also joined the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), a coalition of 13 global companies cooperating on constructive actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”82 “Our investors took a strong interest in three areas: managing risks associated with climate change; ensuring transparency of lobbying practices and processes; and having more insight into human capital management.
