Mr. González, who has served as GCCA Vice-President since 2018,
succeeds outgoing GCCA President Jan Jenisch. Mr. González has been
CEO of Cemex since 2014; he joined the company in 1989 and has led
several operational regions and corporate functions throughout his
career.
“It is a great honor to be President of the GCCA, particularly
as we enter this ‘decade to deliver,’ a period during which we must
accelerate our decarbonization efforts,” said Fernando A. González.
“My number one priority as the new President of the GCCA is to
collaborate closely with governments and industry to evolve the
regulatory framework in ways that promote a more circular,
lower-carbon economy.”
The priorities for Mr. González during his two-year term
include:
- Encouraging regulation that diverts municipal and industrial
waste from landfills to waste to energy solutions including
substitution of fossil fuels in cement kilns.
- Promoting building codes and norms that allow the extensive
adoption of lower-carbon cement and concrete products.
- Establishing market-driving carbon pricing mechanisms that
incentivize decarbonization and investment in carbon reduction
technologies.
- Seek funding and alliances to develop new technologies that
reduce carbon emissions in the cement manufacturing process and
accelerate the development and scaling of carbon capture,
utilization, and storage technologies.
Mr. González recently spoke at the United Nations General
Assembly’s Private Sector Forum and urged the public and private
sectors to collaborate more closely to develop the regulatory
ecosystem so that the cement industry can reach its full potential
as a contributor to a carbon neutral society.

About the GCCA
The GCCA and its members account for 80% of global cement
production capacity outside of China, as well as a growing number
of Chinese manufacturers. Member companies have committed to
reducing and ultimately eliminating CO2 emissions in concrete,
which currently account for around 7% globally, through the
implementation of the GCCA’s Concrete Future 2050 Net Zero Roadmap
– the first heavy industry to set out such a detailed plan.

“Cemex,” ”we,” ”us,” ”our,” refer to Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V. and its

equivalent label; or iii) as to climate and sustainable funding and
financing activities and their classification and reporting.
Therefore, there is little certainty, and no assurance or
