Monterrey, Mexico. March 24, 2026 – Cemex announced today that it has been upgraded to AAA from A in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment, achieving the highest possible rating.
MSCI ESG Ratings evaluate companies on their resilience to financially relevant, industry-specific sustainability risks and opportunities. The AAA rating places Cemex among the top performers in its sector globally, with only 15 companies from the global building materials industry achieving a AAA rating.
“Sustainability remains firmly embedded across our organization and is increasingly linked to disciplined investment, operational performance, and long-term value creation,” said Jaime Muguiro, CEO of Cemex. “We are committing to moving forward on decarbonization, focused on the levers that make sense financially and meet the demands of our customers in markets with the right regulatory framework.”
This recognition reflects Cemex’s continued progress in strengthening operational practices, enhancing transparency, and integrating sustainability into core business decisions. The company has focused on improving resilience across key areas, including climate strategy, resource efficiency, and governance.
MSCI ESG Ratings are used by investors to inform portfolio construction, risk management, and engagement decisions. The assessment compares companies within each industry, providing a relative view of how effectively they manage sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
