CEMEX is seeking ISO 27001 certification to ensure that we have robust processes in place to meet our stringent Data Protection Legislation (in the UK – GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018).  CEMEX businesses in Mexico and Columbia have already achieved this accreditation and now audits by external consultants are taking place throughout our European operations.

We had our audit in the UK and are pleased to report that we passed with flying colours.

Vish Puri, Legal Director commented: “My thanks go to the UK Data Protection Team for supporting us by responding promptly to our frequent requests for information.

We will need to participate in annual audits to maintain our accreditation.  Data Protection is a critical part of our Global Compliance Programme and there are serious PR and financial implications if we get it wrong.  We cannot afford to be complacent.”
