Through our Future in Action climate action strategy, Cemex is steadily transitioning towards a lower carbon economy, leveraging alternative fuels, promoting a circular economy, and embracing clean energy sources. We are making significant progress toward our ambitious goals for 2030, with our aim to become a net-zero carbon emissions company by 2050.

Here in the UK, our teams are working hard to lower our carbon footprint by expanding our Vertua® range of more sustainable products and solutions. In line with this strategy, our Northwest Readymix team have taken the strategic decision to rebrand our Macclesfield Readymix Plant to Poynton Readymix Plant and going forward change its core product offering to Vertua Lower Carbon Concrete. This change not only aligns the Plant’s name to its geographical location but also provides an opportunity to share our more sustainable products and processes to our local markets in the metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire. Over the coming period our Marketing team will be informing our customers in this area, of the name change and the more sustainable product offering.

Actions required

With the name change there will be some internal systems changes required by various teams across our UK business:

• On SAP, the Macclesfield Concrete Plant name has already been changed to Poynton Concrete Plant so any reports from SAP will now show the new name.
• The SAP Plant ID and SAP Profit Centre WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
• For reporting where manual lookups are required, you will now need to update your lookups to ‘Poynton’.
• Please change any other non-SAP systems/references referring to Macclesfield Plant to Poynton going forward.

For any questions regarding this change please contact Damon Montgomery, North West Readymix Commercial & General Manager.
