HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CEMEX USA was recognized Thursday by the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department for its ongoing commitment to sustainability and land
stewardship with the prestigious 2017 Lone Star Land Steward Award for
the Trans Pecos Ecoregion.
The award recognizes CEMEX, the El Carmen Land & Conservation Co., LLC
(ECLCC), and part owner of the ECLCC, Josiah Austin, for their
dedication to excellence in wildlife and natural-resource management
through work in Texas at the El Carmen Nature Reserve, a private
trans-boundary conservation area in the Big Bend region that comprises
five different ecosystems and is home to a myriad of plants, birds,
mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
Scott Ducoff, CEMEX USA’s Regional President-Texas Region, accepted the
award Thursday night at a ceremony in Austin, Texas.
“CEMEX wants to ensure we preserve the unique landscape at El Carmen,
and we strive for sustainability in everything we do,” Ducoff said. “We
are constantly committed to conserving the land so species that rely on
it can do so for decades to come.”
El Carmen stretches from Texas into Mexico and is the result of
conservation agreements between CEMEX and adjoining landowners on both
sides of the border. The award from the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department recognizes the continuing efforts to restore lands and native
wildlife in the U.S. portion of El Carmen along with the commitment to
protect the vital wildlife corridor and bird migration route between two
countries.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has honored those who show
dedicated stewardship of land for more than two decades with the awards.
CEMEX is a global building materials company that provides
high-quality products and reliable service to customers and communities
in more than 50 countries throughout the world. Its U.S. network
includes 11 cement plants, 43 strategically located distribution
terminals, 57 aggregate quarries and more than 270 ready-mix concrete
