Cemex has announced that five of its concrete plants in California have earned Responsible Sourcing Certification from the Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC), becoming the first facilities of any company in the USA to receive this designation.

The five plants – located in Oakland, San Carlos, Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco – met the CSC requirements as confirmed via an audit by SGS, an independent, third-party certification body.

"Sustainability is a guiding principle at every Cemex facility," said Ignacio Madridejos, president of Cemex USA. "We are proud of these plants for becoming the first facilities in the country to attain CSC certification, demonstrating their leadership in environmental responsibility. Their impressive achievement will inspire others within Cemex and across the industry. We applaud their strong commitment to manufacturing sustainable products through sustainable practices."
