However, no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been documented, suggesting that while emissions are tracked, formal commitments to reduction are not currently in place. Tecnoglass's headquarters is located in Colorado, and the company operates within the glass and aluminium industries, which are known for their significant carbon footprints. The absence of defined reduction targets may reflect the challenges faced by the industry in transitioning to more sustainable practices.
