Reporting Methodology

We began publishing an annual environmental, health, and safety report in 1996, and then in 2003 began issuing Sustainable Development Reports.


Our Sustainable Development report covers our global cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates operations, presenting our sustainability performance, progress, achievements, and challenges for the calendar (and fiscal) year. We have emphasized those issues identified as high-priority through our materiality analysis, as reflected in the seven priority areas of our sustainable development model. For more information as well as updates throughout the year, please visit our corporate website at www.cemex.com/sustainability/reports

The information for this report came from several sources, including internal management systems and performance databases and our Sustainable Development Report Survey, a global questionnaire. This approach has enabled us to report against our key performance indicators for the whole company.

We aim to improve the transparency and completeness of each report we produce. We include a statement from PricewaterhouseCoopers, which verified our data on greenhouse gas emissions; atmospheric emissions; alternative fossil and biomass fuels rates; environmental incidents; and safety for our cement, ready-mix, and aggregates operations. In addition, we engaged with our Sustainable Development Reporting Advisory Panel, which provides feedback on our reporting.

We applied the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines to produce the Sustainable Development Report, which meets an application level of A+ for the third consecutive year.

In addition, this report constitutes our communication on progress against the commitments of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). As a signatory to the Global Compact, we work to align our company’s operations and strategies with its ten principles. We are also committed to helping the world meet the targets of the Kyoto Protocol and Millennium Development Goals.

The indices for the GRI and the UNGC are found in our website and are available for download at www.cemex.com/sustainability/reports
