The fight against Climate Change has become an agenda item to be discussed for the world's leading companies. Conservation of the planet is one of the problems that most concern today's society. And large corporations, as it could not be otherwise, are sensitive to these social demands that seek to leave a better world for future generations. Environmental preservation is a key element of Corporate Social Responsibility and there are many companies that seek to include social and environmental concerns in their business operations, trying to have a lesser impact on our planet. Principles of the Global Compact, the foundation The commitment to environmental protection is included in the Ten Principles of the Global Compact , a multi-state platform of completely voluntary adhesion and led by the United Nations that seeks fair play between companies. The principles that refer to the Environment are 7, number 8 and 9. Number 9 - which is what we will refer to today - describes the following: «Companies must promote the development and dissemination of environmentally friendly technologies. « To make this possible, we try to limit emissions harmful to the atmosphere, we try to use renewable energy and we try to limit the use of fossil fuels. The role of technology Another interesting movement to reduce waste is business digitalization. Some sectors have digitalized their production, a movement that, caused by the social insertion of the Internet or by external demands, greatly helps the health of the planet, reducing travel and transportation, packaging, distribution, waste, etc.
We find some examples in the entertainment sector, with the publication of digital musical content , such as Spotify; on a small scale in the gastronomic sector, increasingly frequent in publishing its cards through QR codes, or in the live casino , with the offer of 2.0 activities such as those of Betway. It should be noted that Climate Change can also have a negative effect on companies and their supply chains and every movement, no matter how small, adds up. CEMEX, an example to follow One of the companies in our country that is known for its fight against Bulgaria Mobile Number List climate change is CEMEX. As they define themselves, it is a large materials company dedicated to the industry that offers a wide variety of products and services aimed at clients in more than 50 countries. To understand its history we must highlight its foundation, which dates back to 1906; 112 years of uninterrupted history. It was initially established in the city of Monterrey, with the opening of a plant called Cementos Hidalgo. Here is a video to learn more about its evolution. Climate action One of the most interesting elements is its strategy to fight Climate Change, which is called Climate Action. Its purpose is to establish a zero-emissions economy, in line with the existing social concern that we described at the beginning of the text.
Last February it announced that it would try to reduce CO₂ emissions per ton by 35% by 2030. In 2050 it will try to establish zero emissions, an ambitious figure that favors the task to be carried out. To reduce its emissions, it will look for other formulas when treating clinker, a key material in the manufacture of cement and the most important component of concrete. Variants that require less heat when treating the product will be studied. CEMEX also seeks to use alternative means of transportation that are low in CO₂ when moving raw materials and products. It also takes an active part in reforestation to try to ensure that the photosynthesis carried out by plants limits the amount of carbon dioxide present in our environment. On their web portal they have a section dedicated to the Climate Action plan, with a detailed description that explains their involvement in this area. Construction technologies One of the most interesting points is the one that refers to technologies focused on Climate Change. CEMEX focuses on research into construction technologies that can mitigate CO₂ emissions, trying to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. The more insulating and absorbent a surface is, the less energy demand it will require when it has to acclimatize. A longer useful life of construction materials and better technical insulation will require much less energy.
