Statements on Climate Change
“We are convinced that, by engaging in these global goals through our day-today
activities, we are building a better future by tackling global challenges such as
poverty, inequalities, climate change, environmental changes, and lack of proper
education and capability development, among others.”76
“With the world moving towards a 2030 Agenda, we recognize our responsibility to
join the collective action to continue positively impacting the world. International
milestones going from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and more stringent
phases for carbon regulated markets to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), continue to set the pace for urgent action from governments, private sector
and civil society. These global plans aim to address the most significant problems,
especially those linked to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation,
prosperity, and peace and justice.”77
“According to the International Energy Agency, cement is responsible for about 7%
of global CO2 emissions. For several decades, CEMEX has embraced CO2
emissions mitigation as a priority within our sustainability strategy, and this battle
has become one our biggest responsibilities and challenges given the rising global
population and urbanization phenomenon.”78
“Beyond this detailed plan, our stronger ambition for continued progress in Climate
Change mitigation is reflected in our rigorous 2030 carbon-reduction target,
calculated using Science-Based Targets (SBTs) methodology. SBTs are aligned with
the reduction pathways for limiting a long-term global temperature increase within
2°C. SBTs are grounded in an objective, scientific evaluation of the actual
contribution needed from a company, and CEMEX is committed to this global goal,
consistent with the Paris Agreement.
Moreover, we are also determined to reducing out indirect CO2 emissions throughout
new aggressive target of covering 40% of our cement operations’ power energy
needs with renewable sources”79
