The Nature Positive Initiative was created by NGOs and academics in response to the Global Framework Agreement agreed at UNCBD COP 15. Now, Nature Positive is the global goal Cemex is working towards halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 and restoring it by 2050. The state of nature in 2020 is our benchmark, helping us track progress over time.

Every day at Cemex, we support this goal by:

• Mapping habitats to understand the species and ecosystems in and around our quarries.
• Recultivating mines, with restoration plans in place for each operating site.
• Protecting biodiversity through Biodiversity Management Plans at priority locations.
• Measuring progress using the WBCSD method to assess habitat condition and year on year improvement.

This long term commitment is already visible in places such as the El Carmen Nature Reserve (over 130,000 hectares of protected land) and sites across Europe, including Lipówka quarry in Poland. Cemex has been actively protecting biodiversity for more than 25 years.

A new Nature Positive poster explains our shared global goal at Cemex: to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 and restore nature by 2050. The poster highlights the practical actions we take every day, from mapping habitats and restoring quarries, to protecting biodiversity and measuring our progress using internationally recognised methods.
