Dan Mann, from our UK Public Affairs team, recently attended a Conservatives in Energy event, featuring Claire Coutinho MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.

The event brought together industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the evolving challenges and opportunities in the UK’s energy sector.

Attending energy-focused events is not just relevant but essential. With the production of our products being so energy-intensive, ensuring a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective energy supply is vital to both operations and long-term decarbonisation goals, and we feel it is important to ensure that government and policy thinks of the customer in these conversations, and not just the producer. Engagement in the energy conversation allows Cemex to advocate for policies that support industrial innovation and the transition to cleaner, more efficient energy solutions.

Equally important is engaging with the opposition as well as the government. Shadow Ministers play a critical role in shaping future policies, and by building relationships and sharing insights now, Cemex positions itself as a key contributor to discussions that may influence the policy landscape in any cross-party and detailed discussions.

Attending events like this ensures that Cemex remains at the forefront of critical industry developments while reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and its role as a proactive voice in shaping the UK’s energy and environmental future.
