In this sense, the certificate we are presenting to UNACEM today demonstrates our shared commitment to working together to build a more sustainable Peru. Starting with a preference for renewable energies, we can identify opportunities to help Peru achieve carbon neutrality ", said Celepsa General Manager Eduardo Herrera.

The cement company, UNACEM, certified to have used a volume of energy through water sources equivalent to 525, 525, 565, 585 kWh, measured at the points of supply during 2021.
