Mexico: Cemex aims for more than 50% of its sales cement and concrete to consist of Vertua reduced-CO2 products by 2025. In the first quarter of 2022, Vertua concrete accounted for 31% of Cemex’s concrete sales, while Vertua cements accounted for 34% of its cement sales.
CEO Fernando Gonzalez said “The ultimate objective of our Future in Action programme is to provide our customers with net-zero carbon products and solutions. Our Vertua products are an important step in this direction, designed to meet society’s demand for resilient and long-lasting buildings and infrastructure built with a lower carbon footprint.”
Poland: The Building Research Institute has issued environmental product declarations (EPDs) for Cemex Poland’s Vertua Classic and Vertua Plus concrete products.
Materials director Michał Grys said “For us, product certification is another important step towards sustainable construction and a sustainable future. EPD declarations provide our clients with additional confirmation of the properties of products offered by Cemex Poland. They also improve their chances of obtaining LEED or BREEAM certificates for their investments.”
