CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”)(NYSE: CX) announced today the release of “Sublime Nature: Photographs that Awe and Inspire,” the first edition of its new Nature Series. This inviting and innovative series follows the same tradition of excellence that won recognition for CEMEX’s celebrated 20-volume Conservation Book Series. Through a compendium of spectacular views from award-winning photojournalists, interspersed with profound quotations from the world’s leading poets, naturalists, and scientists, this book seeks to motivate society to become part of nature’s life-giving gifts and to participate actively in our planet’s future.

Since 1993, CEMEX has been honored to work with many of the world’s most dedicated conservation organizations to create impressive photography books related to the environment. This year, CEMEX enjoys the privilege of embarking on a publishing partnership with the National Geographic Society, an internationally known leader in the sphere of scientific research, exploration, and educational programming. By joining forces, CEMEX looks to engage an even wider audience in a global dialogue about the future of our planet’s natural wonders.

Poetically written and accompanied by breathtaking images, “Sublime Nature” captures our special relationship to nature in all of its remarkable incarnations. Whether showing mountain peaks against a crystal blue sky or shimmering expanses of ocean or desert, these stunning vistas affect us deeply, eliciting reactions of reflection, peace, love, and above all, awe.

Through its beautifully crafted books, CEMEX has consistently sought to promote and develop a culture of appreciation and respect for nature, not only among its own stakeholders, but also within the global community. As always, CEMEX heartily welcomes everyone to embrace the universal goals of protecting and celebrating our world’s natural diversity and precious multiculturalism.
