Included in the 2015 list, this is the second time Fortune has recognized CEMEX among the top 20 companies in the ranking. Fortune values CEMEX's efforts in promoting sustainable construction practices, highlighting its “Growths” platform, which encompasses CEMEX's social and inclusive businesses such as 'Construyo Contigo', 'ConstruApoyo', 'Yo Construyo' and 'Estufas Ecológicas'. Through these diverse and innovative solutions, “Growths” transcends the business of self-construction to attack poverty, low-quality education, unhealthy households, unemployment, lack of training, poor access to financial assistance and the lack of citizen participation. Until 2016, these platforms have provided decent and affordable housing to more than three million people in Latin America. CEMEX maintains the commitment to continue generating shared value through social innovation, "It is an honor to once again be recognized by Fortune for our efforts and commitment to promote sustainable construction practices globally," said Fernando González Olivieri, CEO of CEMEX. "The 'Growths' platform has allowed us to work throughout our value chain with governments, microfinance entities, low-income communities and social entrepreneurs to build more than four million square meters of living space." Fortune has produced the 'Change the World' list for 2017 with the help of the non-profit consulting firm FSG and its organization Shared Value Initiative. To select the 50 recognized companies, Fortune considered three criteria: measurable social impact, business result in terms of profitability of social impact work, as well as degree of innovation.
