CEMEX has joined the Corporate Leaders Group Europe (CLG Europe), convened by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership in support of a climate neutral economy.

CEMEX’s leadership is particularly important in the European context where the EU is revising its climate and energy policy framework to achieve at least 55% net emissions reductions by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest. The company’s ambitious policies would have a role to play in supporting policymakers and other businesses in stepping up climate ambition by leading by example.

CLG Europe has a secretariat provided by the Brussels office of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership and a cross-sectoral membership of influential European businesses working towards delivering climate neutrality. CEMEX joins existing members: ACCIONA, Anglian Water, Ball, Coca Cola European Partners, DSM, EDF, Eneco, Ferrovial, Hybrit, Iberdrola, Ingka Group, Interface, Lloyds Banking Group, Microsoft, ROCKWOOL, Salesforce, Signify, Sky, Stora Enso, Tesco, Thames Water and Unilever.

Sergio Menendez, President for CEMEX EMEA Region said: “With its Future in Action program, CEMEX is committed to lead on the road to carbon neutrality. We are proud to join forces with the CISL’s Corporate Leaders Group Europe and other global companies to accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment. We look forward to working together with the Corporate Leaders Group Europe to help us all achieve our shared climate action goals in Europe. “
