CEMEX Earns Certification for Responsibly Sourced Concrete

NRMCA Producer member CEMEX and five of its ready mix concrete plants in northern California have earned the first ever Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) certification in the U.S. The plants are also the first CSC-certified plants within CEMEX's operations around the world. The five plants, located in Oakland, San Carlos, Santa Clara, San Jose and at Pier 92 in San Francisco, met the CSC criteria as confirmed through an external audit by SGS, an independent, third-party certification body.

The CSC certification is designed to improve transparency across the industry and help concrete producers and their material suppliers measure and report the level at which their company operates in a responsible way. CSC launched the global responsible sourcing certification system in January 2017 and have issued certificates to over 70 plants worldwide, with increasing registration every month. The certification system covers a range of economic, social and environmental impacts across the supply channel and is valuable when responding to investor inquiries, government green procurement strategies or green building standards. NRMCA was a key stakeholder in developing the certification system and look forward to active engagement in the U.S. market.

As part of the Build with Strength campaign, NRMCA promotes Strength Through Transparency for member and industry competitiveness in the green building marketplace and the trends toward product and company transparency.
