Please read the message from our CEO Fernando Gonzalez  shared on International Women’s Day – 8th March 2022.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, I am reminded of the close to 8,000 women that work at CEMEX. Your contribution to the company is acknowledged and valued, your determination to succeed celebrated and encouraged.

It is also a good time to reflect on our commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, our pledge to create the right conditions for women to thrive, and our responsibility in building a more inclusive and sustainable future. We have focused our recent efforts on ensuring flexibility in work, fair pay, medical coverage for gender specific ailments, and career opportunities for CEMEX talent. Furthermore, we continue to support education and employability in the communities where we operate.

This year I celebrate that we lead in our industry on gender representation, with 16% total and 31% at management level, and that we are clear in our goal of reaching at least 30% in every level of the organisation.

I celebrate that every day more women are interested in coming to our company as they consider options to join the workforce, and that we see women growing into more senior leadership roles. We will continue to grow and expand the opportunities for women to contribute towards the achievement of our company goals.

Today I am proud to see many brilliant women contributing to our Future in Action Strategy, and grateful for the many more that have been dedicated to ensuring our Health and Safety through the pandemic.

You are building a better future.  Congratulations on this day!

Fernando
