Constant activity to reduce impacts
Material recovery, that is, the use of waste for the manufacture of cement and the consequent savings in the consumption of raw materials from nature, concentrated practically half of the environmental investment in 2022. The increase in funds is also notable destined to control environmental effects, which grew by 254% compared to the previous year.
