Company distinguished for exemplary business integrity, ethics, compliance, and governance standards
CEMEX have received 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition from Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. As one of the honorees, Cemex have been distinguished for their exemplary business integrity, ethics, compliance, and governance standards.
Cemex’s activities are guided by the principles embodied in their ‘Code of Ethics and Business Conduct’, which serves as a guideline for establishing the highest standards of behaviour within and outside the organization, as well as in interactions with their stakeholders. The 2025 list recognizes 136 companies across 19 countries and 44 industries.
‘We are pleased to be among this select group of companies with a strong commitment to integrity, leadership, ethics, and compliance programmes,’ said Fernando A. González, chief executive officer of Cemex. ‘Ethics is a core value at Cemex, and this recognition highlights our employees’ contributions to fostering a culture of transparency and trust.’
Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s chief strategy officer and executive chair, said: ‘Congratulations to Cemex for being recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. ‘Behind this honour is a true dedication and commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure through our process.’
Cemex say they are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards outlined in their ‘Code of Ethics and Business Conduct’ and operating their business in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and corporate policies. The Code defines the expected behaviours of employees and stakeholders, aligning with the company’s corporate values to support its strategic vision.
The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient, which requires companies to provide more than 240 different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance, governance, a culture of ethics, environmental and social impact, and initiatives that support a strong value chain.
These data undergo further qualitative analysis by a panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year’s applicants. This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
