The objective of our Supplier Sustainability Program is to ensure the promotion and recognition of sustainable practices across our supply chain by extending CEMEX’s sustainability commitment, practices, and beliefs to our suppliers.

Our Program is aimed to combine social and environmental factors with financial considerations when making sourcing decisions.

OBJECTIVE

To ensure the promotion and recognition of sustainable practices in the supply chain by extending CEMEX’s sustainability commitment, practices and beliefs to our suppliers.

FOUR PHASES OF THE PROGRAM

19 questions covering:

General aspects of sustainable practices of the company (11 questions/58%)
Social behaviors (5 questions/26%)
