Sustainable Development

Global conservation partnership for CEMEX sites

In December 2007, CEMEX and BirdLife International signed a 10-year global agreement, building on the existing relationship between BirdLife and CEMEX in Europe which dates back to 2003.

BirdLife International is a global network of non-governmental conservation organizations, with grassroots membership spanning over 100 countries. They work to conserve wild birds, their habitats and global biodiversity by promoting sustainable resource use. Changes to bird populations are a good indicator of the health of biodiversity in a region.

The partnership harnesses BirdLife's knowledge and capacity to help us monitor biodiversity across our operations and improve our environmental management. In collaboration with BirdLife's partner in Mexico -ProNatura- during 2008, we mapped the locations of all of our quarries in relation to areas which are protected or of high biodiversity value. As a result, we have identified how many cement and aggregates sites operate in environmentally sensitive areas. With these efforts, we hope to enhance conditions for birds and other species at our sites, and help protect threatened bird species and biodiversity at national and international levels. The partnership also aims to raise employee awareness of the importance of biodiversity. We have already carried out several successful projects, including one in collaboration with the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO), BirdLife's partner in France, resulting in the design of biodiversity cards to help quarry managers maintain diverse habitats such as reeds, gravel beaches, dry grasslands, and hedges.
