We are delighted to announce that in December Cemex UK was awarded with Bronze accreditation with the Investors of the Environment for our Head Office in Binley, Coventry.

Investors in the Environment (iiE) is a national environmental accreditation scheme designed to help organisations reduce their impact on the environment and receive recognition for their progress.

Following the Head Office move from Rugby to Binley in Coventry, the team at Binley made many positive changes and this iiE accreditation gives a stamp of approval for this fantastic work. The accreditation also ensures continuous improvement going forward.

To achieve Bronze award, the team needed to demonstrate implementation of processes, policies, and systems to manage, monitor and improve environmental performance. This included:

• Establishing environmental policy and action plans
• Gathering baseline data
• Improving how resources are used
• Managing and reducing waste
• Calculating a carbon footprint
• Communicating progress

The target is to achieve silver award at the next audit in 12 months time. This will be achieved by developing organisational changes by analysing data, making measured improvements through performance tracking, and working towards a wider sustainable development.

Well done and big thanks to Natasha Page, Facilities Manager & HR Advisor, team for her hard work at Binley, with the support from the Sustainability team.
