DOE recognizes CEMEX for its ISO 50001 energy management system certification

The Department of Energy (DOE) through its Philippine Industrial Energy Efficiency Project (PIEEP) recognized CEMEX Philippines for its implementation of ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) in its cement plants. CEMEX Philippines’ subsidiaries, Solid Cement Corporation and Apo Cement Corporation, are the first cement plants in the country to be certified by SGS Philippines for EnMS.

“We at CEMEX make every effort to proactively contribute to the growing demand for positive change in our resource-constrained world. Having our cement plants certified for EnMS ensures that we are operating sustainably by optimizing our energy use in a systematic and environmentally sound way. This recognition is a testament to CEMEX’s commitment in building a better future now,” said CEMEX Energy Director Eduardo Pons.

The recognition was given during the Don Emilio Abello Energy Efficiency Awards Ceremony at the Maxim Hotel, Resorts World Manila on December 12. PIEEP is jointly implemented by DOE, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
