Thanks to the scope of our operations, CEMEX is uniquely placed to generate positive impacts on biodiversity through the restoration of quarries and spaces in which we operate,” said Juan Romero, President of CEMEX Mexico. “An example of CEMEX’s commitment to biodiversity protection is El Carmen natural reserve, with 15 years of conservation and biodiversity restoration programs.
