(NYSE: CX), today announced  that it has developed a carbon footprint tool- the first of its kind in  the building materials industry- that allows the company to measure the  greenhouse gases emissions of its cement, ready-mix and aggregates  products. The footprint tool considers a cradle-to-gate approach, from  raw material sourcing to product manufacturing, providing significant  assistance to customers in the building sector in calculating the carbon  footprint of their projects. CEMEX unveiled its CO2 footprint  tool today at COP16 during a round-table discussion the company hosted  along with the World Green Building Council titled &#8220;Key Challenges for  Construction in the 21st Century&#8221;. CEMEX speakers and invited panellists  discussed key trends driving sustainable construction as well as  proposals on production practices, design and application of concrete  products that can contribute to sustainable construction. &#8220;CEMEX is proud to be the first building materials company able to  offer its customers comprehensive carbon content information in its key  products.&#8221; said Luis Far\u00e0\u00adas, CEMEX Senior Vice-President of Energy and  Sustainability. &#8220;We continually strive to operate our business in a  sustainable way by measuring and reducing our carbon footprint in our  products and operations.&#8221; Image: dominicantoday.com. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cemex.com\/qr\/mc_pr_120710.asp\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: global |  Company: CEMEX | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cemex.com\/qr\/mc_pr_120710.asp\" target=\"_blank\">CEMEX<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.
