“We were asked to take the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry at our plant, and I was skeptical at first. I wasn't sure if there would be a real benefit here with implementing it. But after seeing how ENERGY STAR helped us develop ways to save energy and money at the plant by improving the energy management system, it made perfect sense and was a good challenge for us. Then, I realized that ENERGY STAR could help me do the same thing at home. So, I started using it to make purchasing decisions for my electronics and appliances. Now, I’m using less energy and saving money at home as well. This ENERGY STAR program thing really works! Once you try it, you will see the benefits from it."

"This is the type of initiative that fits perfectly with the CEMEX sustainability agenda. With this initiative, we are creating value for our shareholders by reducing our energy bills, but at the same time, we are contributing to the betterment of our communities and society through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using fewer resources.”

- Ignacio Madridejos, USA President, CEMEX
