Cemex Colombia announced that 90% of the water required for cement production at its Santa Rosa plant is drawn from non-fresh water sources, setting a benchmark for water management in the country.
The plant sustains its manufacturing process using water sources, including rainwater, recycling systems, and zero water discharges.
The protocol for verifying water management at the plant was developed in collaboration with Environmental Resources Management (ERM), the world’s largest advisory firm dedicated to sustainability. Cemex’s efforts to preserve this resource are part of its Future in Action program, which focuses on achieving sustainable excellence through climate action, circularity, and natural resource management with the primary objective of becoming a net zero CO2 company by 2050.
