Our COVID-19 Actions
Health and Safety Come First
The global pandemic has placed the world in uncharted territory.
During these times, our top priority remains the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers and communities. That's why we have enacted a series of rigorous protocols in our worldwide operations that are aligned with the recommendations of health authorities and have adopted social distancing policies to eliminate face-to-face contact wherever possible.
At the same time, we are working diligently to minimize as much as possible supply disruptions, so we are able to continue providing the service our customers deserve.
This page will be constantly updated with the latest information about our operations in the United States and the different activities we are performing to support the community during these difficult times.
Behaviors that Save Lives
At CEMEX, health and safety are our top priority for our people and their families.
CEMEX is working to help mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission, focusing on key behaviors that can protect ourselves, our employees and their families. For our efforts to be successful, we all must practice the behaviors at work and at home. These behaviors provide guidance in decreasing the spread of COVID-19.
The summary below provides Health and Safety guidelines that addresses COVID-19, to safeguard the health of our people and their families.
A Message from Our CEO
First of all, I hope that you and your families are healthy and safe.
The global COVID-19 pandemic is a social and economic phenomenon that is affecting all of us, both professionally and personally.
As I have said many times before, there is nothing more important than the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. I firmly believe that during these times, we must adhere even more closely to our values, and that is what all of us at CEMEX are doing right now.
Our employees have been encouraged to follow physical distancing and personal hygiene protocols. In addition, they have been instructed to work from home when possible, avoid traveling as much as possible, and avoid attending business-related events, among other preventive measures.
Our commitment to health and safety is stronger than ever. And so is our commitment to be a trusted partner for our customers and a good neighbor to our communities. Now more than ever, our digital platforms, such as CEMEX Go, are an ideal option to continue serving our customers, while adhering to the most rigorous health practices.
Our manufacturing, sales, and delivery operations remain active wherever possible, and will continue to work as long as they can do so in a safe and healthy manner, or as long as the corresponding authorities allow them to remain active. Our pickup and delivery processes have been adjusted to minimize contagion risks, while keeping our building materials supply chain moving. Our sales force is available to you through email, telephone or chat. Our customer service centers are there to take your call, even if our representatives are working from home.
We are also keeping in close contact with our communities. We are deploying the resources at our disposal, within reason, to help our communities overcome hardships related to the COVID-19 crisis.
A trusted partner is one you can count on during the most uncertain times. All of us at CEMEX are working hard! You can count on us right now more than ever.
Sincerely,
Fernando A. González
