Cemex has joined the programme for corporate social responsibility in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).  
 
Under the programme, for three years Cemex will provide advisory services and credit to 10 SMEs in order to improve their competitiveness and help them expand abroad. Those companies will benefit in their operations from the expertise of Cemex in the field of distribution and marketing.  
 
The programme has a budget of $2.5m (EUR1.9m) and was co-developed by the University Anahuac and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). After a period of three years it may be renewed for one more.
