Cemex UAE Showcases Decarbonization Leadership at Sustainability Innovation Forum 2026
At the recent Sustainability Innovation Forum 2026, Vipulkumar Shantilal Mehta, Cement Operations Director at Cemex UAE, joined an elite panel discussion titled “Power Before Concrete: Why Energy Now Sets the Pace of Construction.” The panel explored how energy optimization is driving the transformation of the construction sector.
During the session, Vipulkumar Shantilal Mehta outlined Cemex UAE’s comprehensive decarbonization roadmap, emphasizing the transition from ambition to concrete action. The company’s strategy is focused on several key pillars:
- Optimizing energy usage throughout manufacturing and operations
- Reducing the clinker factor in cement production
- Integrating Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs)
- Developing and advancing Vertua low-carbon cement and concrete
Crucially, these innovations are being implemented while maintaining the performance, strength, and durability that Cemex’s customers have come to expect.
This approach is a core component of Cemex’s Future in Action strategy, which aims to blend operational excellence with innovation. The ultimate goal: to reduce the carbon footprint of both operations and products, and to support the growth of sustainable construction across the UAE.
By prioritizing sustainability and energy efficiency, Cemex UAE is helping to shape the future of construction in line with global environmental objectives.
