This Weekend – National Day of Trespass

As you may know, this weekend Extinction Rebellion will be holding its first ‘National day of Trespass’ (24th April), when it is encouraging participants to trespass wherever and however they can.

Whilst there is no information suggesting CEMEX will be directly targeted, colleagues are asked to remain vigilant to the potential for trespass or protest type action developing. Extinction Rebellion have identified land used for mineral extraction as an example of land which the general public do not have access to.

Please ensure you have checked your boundaries to make sure they are safe in advance of this date and alert your teams to the increased risk on this day if they will be on site.

CEMEX Global Security and ERM have developed a generic contingency plan in relation to the potential for protest at or near our sites. All staff need to be aware of this plan and what it requires of each of us in the event of protest related action at a CEMEX site. A copy of the plan can be accessed here (https://cemexuknews.co.uk/downloads/?did=1311).

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Colin Jones or John Sweeting in the UK Security team.
