CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that the Latin American Council of Management Schools (CLADEA in Spanish) from the North University in Colombia granted CEMEX in Colombia the CLADEA Awards, in recognition of its continued commitment to the economic and social development of the countries in which the company operates in Central, South America, and the Caribbean.

“Among our development projects, we have improved Colombia’s primary and tertiary roads. For example, the Ecovías initiative achieved significant improvements over traditional paving solutions, and thanks to it, we are reaching different post-conflict zones, where infrastructure has fallen behind. Corporate social responsibility cannot be an isolated area within a company,” said Mariana Jaramillo, Vice President of Corporate Affairs, CEMEX Colombia.

Currently, 240 public and private institutions from Latin America, North America, Europe, and Oceania are members of CLADEA. For more information on CLADEA, please visit: www.cladea.org/en
