Working with communities in the Philippines

Agreement with the community, Philippines

In the Philippines, we work with local residents to plan and manage our community contributions. This approach has improved our relationships with local communities, helped us assess their expectations, enhanced our reputation, and increased project success rates.

Villagers in the small, hill-top community of Inoburan near our cement plant in Naga City, Cebu, now have a fresh water supply and irrigation system, installed with the help of CEMEX. We have worked with residents to ensure the system is properly managed and that funds are available for repairs, ensuring benefits for many years to come.

We are dedicated to improving development and conservation through small, independent community projects in areas surrounding our sites. We engage with communities and other stakeholders to identify projects to support and decide how funds should be spent. Engaging local people in the scheme and encouraging them to manage projects makes success much more likely.
