As part of our recent company restructure, the way we manage donations and match funding has changed. While we no longer have a dedicated social impact facility or budget, local teams are now empowered to support their communities directly, using their own resources and discretion.
Donations: What You Need to Know
If you or your team would like to make a donation of either cash or materials to a local community cause or charity, here’s the new process:
- If cash, seek approval from the agreed approver of your business unit (see table below).
- The donation must be funded from your own departmental budget.
- If the donation is to be material, you will need approval from the relevant business unit head.
- Ensure the donation aligns with Cemex’s global donations policy and overall strategic priorities.
- Complete the donation form through Service Now via this link and upload all required documents, including:
- The completed donation form [Attach / link]
- Approval from business unit lead
- Any supporting documentation if available
Note: The recipient of the donation must be set up as a vendor by the requester and paid via the usual payment methods. For information about how to set up a new vendor, see here.

Match Funding: Same Process, Different Form
The match funding process mirrors the donation process, with one key difference:
- Use the match funding form instead of the donation form.
- Cemex will match up to £200 per request.
Globally, our strategy for social impact has evolved and this new approach to donations is part of that. In the UK, we’re embracing a locally driven model that empowers operational teams to support their communities in ways that reflect their unique needs and available resources.
Please keep the Communications team updated on any community activity so we can celebrate and share your stories in UK News and on social media.
