Promoting human rights and diversity
We are committed to preventing discrimination and upholding the human rights and labor principles of the United Nations Global Compact. Through our Mexico-based Congruencia program, we promote employment opportunities and accessible building design for people with disabilities.
We also offer advice to architects, engineers, and the construction industry through the total accessibility guide and the CEMEX Building Awards.

The Congruencia Movement, an alliance derived from our program between companies, hiring agencies, and other institutions, promotes the integration of people with disabilities into the workforce and society in general. The movement began in 2000 with 11 participating companies, and six years later, 39 companies were taking part.
In 2006 Congruencia helped 514 disabled people find jobs, 72% more than in 2005. There are plans to replicate Congruencia in other Latin American countries with limited disability legislation and job opportunities.
