643 Cemex says after reaching close to seven million beneficiaries through its social programmes, it has set the goal of benefiting more than 10 million people by the year 2020. The Mexican building materials giant’s CEO Fernando A. Gonzalez made the announcement during the United Nations Private Sector Forum 2015 meetings held in New York, USA.

Among its efforts to support infrastructure and housing development in the communities where it operates, Cemex is establishing community centres for construction training and education and empowering customers at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid through different self-construction assistance initiatives, such as the renowned Patrimonio Hoy and Assisted Self-Construction Integrated Program (PIAC).

“Our social initiatives aim to make cities and communities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. By building strong, high-quality infrastructure, undertaking actions to combat climate change, and offering sustainable products and solutions, we contribute to the UN Global Compact’s Sustainable Development Goals and reinforce our commitment to building a better future,” said Gonzalez.

Cemex is working alongside organisations such as Habitat for Humanity, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Clinton Global Initiative to achieve its ambitious new goal.
