CEMEX CEMEX has grown rapidly through acquisition in recent years, to become one of the world’s top three cement producers. It is also the world’s largest producer of ready-mix concrete. Based in Mexico, CEMEX has risen to the challenge of developing its reporting to reflect its new size and meet the needs of a global audience. We wrote CEMEX’s 2006 sustainable development report. It communicates clearly the societal benefits and environmental and community impacts of cement manufacture and use. The report covers more areas of impact than previous reports, including workplace issues such as diversity. It also reflects CEMEX’s expansive operations in South and Central America, with descriptions of the company’s award-winning base-of-the-pyramid business models. Throughout the report there are case studies and examples of good practice from CEMEX operations around the world.
