CEMEX announced today that by the year 2020 it expects to improve the quality of life of at least 15 million people through programs and value models that transform global challenges into opportunities that generate positive social impact. This increases the scope and goals of CEMEX’s social programs by approximately 5 million people from the target publicised in September 2015.

Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals announced in September 2015, CEMEX has actively participated in the creation of opportunities through social and inclusive businesses, the development of sustainable communities, and the empowerment of women and young people. Thus far, all of these initiatives have enabled CEMEX to benefit more than 9.7 million people.
