The UK Environment Agency recently pledged to default to low carbon concrete when constructing flood defences and other critical infrastructure projects. CEMEX’s Vertua® range is perfect for helping to meet efficiency targets for construction.

Products such as this place CEMEX at the forefront of the building materials industry’s efforts to mitigate climate change and are ideal for infrastructure projects, which more and more are requiring suppliers to commit to cutting carbon emissions without sacrificing performance. In particular, this need was highlighted by the Environment Agency as it launched its roadmap to demonstrate how the organisation will cut its carbon footprint by 45% by 2030*.

Lex Russell, Managing Director of CEMEX UK Materials, commented: “The Environment Agency is the latest organisation to make a commitment to cutting its carbon footprint, and working with responsible suppliers such as CEMEX will be key as it looks to make its infrastructure projects more sustainable.”
