CEMEX publish first Integrated Report

Company provides holistic analysis of its strategic vision, performance, governance and value creation

CEMEX have published their first Integrated Report, with information covering year 2016. According to CEMEX, this evolution in their reporting is designed to provide a holistic analysis of the company’s strategic vision, performance, governance, and value creation.

Entitled ‘Integrated Strategy for a Better Future’, the 2016 Integrated Report aims to facilitate a greater understanding of the relationship between CEMEX’s financial and non-financial key performance indicators, as well as the company’s operating and governance models.

The in-depth report showcases the way in which CEMEX are driving value creation across all aspects of their business, underpinned by the company’s four strategic pillars – People, Customers, Markets, and Sustainability.

‘As a unified global team, we share a common vision to build a better future for all our stakeholders,’ said Fernando A. Gonzalez, chief executive officer of CEMEX. ‘With this report, we hope to provide deeper insight into the way we stay true to that vision and create value in a rapidly changing business environment.’

The 2016 Integrated Report highlights CEMEX’s positive progress on its strategic priorities and its strong financial results during the year, despite strong headwinds.

It also includes CEMEX’s efforts to provide a high-performance, rewarding, and above all, safe workplace environment; the launch of the company’s Superior Customer Experience and digital transformation strategy; the continued empowerment of CEMEX’s communities through the company’s high-impact social strategy; and the company’s continued effort to reduce its environmental footprint, among other relevant topics.

To better align the 2016 Integrated Report with its stakeholders’ main interests, CEMEX prepared it using the GRI-G4 Guidelines, opting for the ‘in accordance’ Comprehensive option, and requested the Global Reporting Initiative to conduct its Materiality Disclosures Service. The report also includes an external limited assurance statement by KPMG.
