As an integral part of our organisation we believe that embracing diversity is not just a catchphrase, but a fundamental core value that drives our success. At Cemex, we recognise the immense power that diversity brings to our workplace. We celebrate the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that each employee brings to the table. It is through this tapestry of diversity that we foster innovation, creativity, and adaptability, enabling us to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

To truly embrace diversity, it takes more than just words. It requires tangible actions and behaviours from each and every one of us. Begin by practicing the following key behaviours for this value:

Create an inclusive and safe environment

We strive to build a workplace where everyone feels welcome and respected. We actively discourage discrimination, harassment, or any form of bias that may hinder the growth of individuals and the company as a whole. Our goal is to create a space where every voice is heard, where unique perspectives and ideas are encouraged, and where we learn from one another.

Acknowledge your own biases and practice empathy

Recognising our own biases is an essential step toward fostering an inclusive environment. It’s natural to have biases, but it’s crucial to be aware of them and challenge ourselves to rise above them. By approaching conversations and interactions with empathy, we can better understand the experiences of others and foster meaningful connections.

Keep an equity mindset

Equity means ensuring that every employee has access to equal opportunities and resources to thrive. We strive to eliminate any systemic barriers that may hinder the advancement of underrepresented groups. Embracing an equity mindset means actively working to level the playing field and promoting a fair and just environment for all.

Actively seek interactions with diverse individuals

Growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones and engage with people who have different perspectives and backgrounds. We encourage everyone to seek out interactions with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, as these exchanges of ideas will lead to innovative solutions and broaden our horizons.

As Cemex employees, each one of us plays a vital role in living our core value of Embracing Diversity. We can all take small but significant steps towards creating a truly inclusive workplace. Together, we will continue to foster an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. At Cemex, diversity is not just a box to be ticked; it’s a journey we embark on together—one that enriches our lives, our work, and our future.
