The EXCEED Operational Excellence team are pleased to share Version 1.5 of the flagship sites portal, the first new release since the project was launched in April.

The spotlight for this new portal release is on our Immelborn quarry in Germany.

Senior Materials Development Manager, Friedrich Bayer, explains: “The Immelborn flagship quarry is a keystone between North and South, due to its central location in Germany and the excellent quality of its products. Immelborn is a perfect example of how older plants can become a flagship through smart investments and continuous improvement. The holistic approach to electrification is exemplary here: energy from the floating photovoltaic (solar) system is used to supply the fully electrified extraction and processing plant. The Aggregates are then transported by train to our core markets in a climate-friendly manner.”

Inside the portal you will also find several new and Renewable Water Management Energies initiatives as these Future in Action pillars are key aspects of our future flagship sites. Take a look around the interactive site maps to see what’s new.

In the coming months more updates to the flagship portal will be communicated, including a new Accreditation Scheme, with bronze, silver and gold flagship standards to be achieved.

Finally, the flagship homepage has also been updated to include a direct link through to the IDEATION ideas-sharing platform. If there are any initiatives you have deployed on your site that you think should be included in the flagship portal, please record them in IDEATION for review. For any IDEATION access questions, please contact adam.leverett@cemex.com
