LOMA NEGRA has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments.

The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while LOMA NEGRA is aware of its carbon footprint, it may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive strategy to address climate change.
