CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that
it has been included in the Fortune 2017 Change the World List, a
ranking that highlights 50 companies worldwide that have had a
positive social impact through activities that are part of their
core business strategy. With its inclusion in Fortune’s 2015 list,
this marks the second time that CEMEX was recognized among the
world’s top 20 companies in this ranking.
Fortune recognized CEMEX’s efforts to foster sustainable
building practices by highlighting the company’s “Growing”
platform, which encompasses CEMEX’s social and inclusive businesses
such as Construyo Contigo (Building Together), ConstruApoyo, Yo
Construyo (I Build), and Clean Cookstoves. Through these diverse,
innovative solutions, CEMEX’s “Growing” platform goes beyond
self-construction businesses to fight poverty, low-quality
education, unhealthy homes, unemployment, lack of capabilities,
poor access to financial aid, and lack of civic participation. By
2016, these platforms had provided affordable and dignified housing
to over 3 million people in Latin America. CEMEX is committed to
continue creating shared value through social innovation, by
creating and strengthening its alliances with think tanks, the
private sector, universities, NGOs, and community partners.
“We are once again honored by Fortune’s recognition of our
effort and commitment to foster global, sustainable building
practices,” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of CEMEX. “The ‘Growing’
platform has enabled us to work across our value chain with
governments, micro-finance entities, low-income communities, and
social entrepreneurs to build over 4 million square meters of
livable space.”
Fortune assembled the 2017 Change the World List with the help
of the non-profit social impact consulting firm FSG and its Shared
Value Initiative organization. To select the 50 companies, Fortune
considered three criteria: measurable social impact, the business
result in terms of profitability of the socially impactful work,
and degree of innovation. The full Fortune 2017 Change the World
list is available at:
