LOMA NEGRA has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a need for further transparency in its sustainability strategy. The absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive plan to address them. Overall, LOMA NEGRA's emissions data highlights the challenges faced by the cement industry in managing carbon footprints, particularly in the context of increasing production demands.
