We believe that if our stakeholders prosper, our company will prosper. This philosophy forms the basis for our vision to be the company of choice for our stakeholders. This means being:
Our People
The employer of choice in our markets. We seek to provide the most attractive opportunities for employees’ personal and professional development. We support employee volunteering initiatives and working arrangements that allow them to balance work with other commitments. We engage our employees through leadership engagement and communications; surveys; an internal magazine and newsletters; CEMEX Plaza, our intranet site; training programs; site visits by top management; and dialogue sessions.
Our Neighbors
A good neighbor. We participate with communities openly and directly in order to build trust and address their concerns. We engage community members through a variety of means, including open house days, site visits, community meetings, advisory panels, local partnerships, dialogue sessions, social programs, and volunteering.
Our Business Partners
The business partner of choice. We seek to help our suppliers and customers build their businesses and to create enduring value for our shareholders. We engage our business partners through negotiations, meetings, commercial events, customer satisfaction surveys, customer-service centers, capacity-building programs, our website, our supplier portal, CEMEX Day events for investors and analysts, our annual and quarterly financial reports, and press releases.
Our World
A good global citizen: As a global company, we work to contribute to international efforts to address some of the world’s most complex challenges, including climate change, access to housing and community infrastructure, and the conservation of biodiversity. As part of these ongoing actions, we interact with policy makers to communicate our positions on public policy issues. We also sponsor and actively participate in a number of educational programs with universities and schools and conduct biodiversity awareness-raising efforts such as the publication of our conservation book series. Overall, we have established more than 250 partnerships and memberships globally.
By building strong long-term relationships with our key stakeholders, we increase our responsiveness to their needs and concerns, find new ways to reduce our impacts, contribute to sustainable development worldwide, and, ultimately, make CEMEX a more competitive and profitable enterprise.
