CEMEX announced this week that Rudiger Kuhn has been appointed as the Representative of the Economy on the newly formed Sustainability Advisory Board for the Federal State of Brandenburg, Germany.

Brandenburg is a focal point for the industry in the East German Federal States and has embarked on an exciting vision to embrace the EU Green Deal and economic change in the context of the national coal phase-out strategy. National funding of over 3.6 billion Euros will be made available for this alone and become a laboratory for energy transformation, climate-neutral business, and sustainable transport.

Brandenburg has a population of over 2.5 million and has many established industries and lead Federal Research Institutes, such as the Institutes for both Climate and Geological Research.

“I am delighted and honored to be appointed,” said Rudiger Kuhn, “CEMEX is perfectly positioned to support the urgent need to move to a more sustainable economy.  I look forward to working with the other representatives and closely with the government of Brandenburg to shape the strategy of an important and promising part of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, and also extend the learning elsewhere in our operations.”
