Further to recent Sexual Harassment legislation changes, we want to reaffirm our commitment to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace for everyone.
Legislative developments continue to strengthen protections against sexual harassment at work. These laws emphasise the responsibility of employers to prevent harassment, respond promptly to complaints, and ensure fair and confidential processes for reporting and investigation.
In line with these legal requirements and our Code of Ethics, we would like to highlight the following:
- Sexual harassment in any form is not tolerated within Cemex.
- What Constitutes Sexual Harassment: This includes unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature—whether verbal, non-verbal, physical, or digital—that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
- Reporting Concerns: Colleagues are encouraged to report any incidents or concerns promptly. Reports can be made to your Manager, HR or via the Ethos Line ([email protected] or on 0808 2340792) and all matters will be handled with sensitivity.
- Training and Awareness: We have provided training to Managers and will continue to provide training and resources to ensure everyone understands their rights and responsibilities in order for us to maintain a healthy and inclusive work environment and to ensure we are compliant with legislation. This will include a toolbox talk presentation for everyone which will be delivered locally by Managers. HRBP’s will be in contact with all Managers with the details.
We have updated the Bullying and Harassment Policy (please refer to HR SharePoint). Please also see links below to statement for local office/site inductions and a Company Risk Assessment.
For Management Action
- Where appropriate please update the Risk Assessment if necessary and run through the contents with your teams as appropriate and send a copy to your HRBP for filing.
- Please also include the statement, at the end of this document and on UK News download page: www.cemexuknews.co.uk/downloads to your site inductions to ensure that visitors and contractors are aware of our policies and expectations relating to Sexual Harassment.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact your local HR Business Partner.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a respectful and safe workplace.
