Sourcing Approach

Sourcing Approach

At CEMEX, our relationship with our suppliers is an integral part of our ultimate goal of meeting the needs of our customers, achieving a superior customer experience and creating value for all our stakeholders.


Our Procurement Model is designed to ensure a standard way to manage our company's network of suppliers through a uniform strategic sourcing process at national, regional and global levels, to:

  • Guarantee the continuity of our operations by providing quality goods and services.
  • Use a replicable set of standard policies, processes and tools for our supply planning, negotiation, purchasing and inventory management functions.
  • Capitalize on our knowledge and the exchange of best practices.

 

At the same time, we capture economies of scale from our negotiations and manage our strategic supplier relationships to achieve the best cost/benefit from our sources of supply by certifying suppliers and contractors in key areas.

We are always looking ahead and constantly innovating. Consequently, our goal is to create a communication culture that reflects the best relationship with our suppliers, while working towards the objectives of our company.

In summary, in this section you will learn about our relationship with our suppliers, what we expect from them.
