The Federation of Private Entrepreneurs of Santa Cruz (FEPSC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) awarded the Sustainability Seal to Itacamba on 11 November 2023. Local press has reported that the award recognises the successes of the producer’s upgrade to the grinding unit at its Yacuses cement plant. The upgrade reduced the energy footprint of the plant’s cement by 1.5kWh/t and eliminated 0.3% of its total CO2 emissions.
