Cemex USA has been recognised by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for its ongoing commitment to sustainability and land stewardship with the prestigious 2017 Lone Star Steward Award for the Trans Pecos Ecoregion.
The award recognises Cemex, the El Carmen Land & Conservation Co., LLC, and part owner of the ECLCC, Josiah Austin, for their dedication to excellence in wildlife and natural-resource management through work in Texas at the El Carmen Nature Reserve, a private trans-boundary conservation area in the Big Bend region that comprises five different ecosystems and is home to a myriad of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
The award was accepted by Scott Ducoff, Cemex USA’s Regional President-Texas Region, at a ceremony in Austin, Texas.
“CEMEX wants to ensure we preserve the unique landscape at El Carmen, and we strive for sustainability in everything we do,” Ducoff said. “We are constantly committed to conserving the land so species that rely on it can do so for decades to come.”
