The Spanish cement association Oficemen has targeted a 43 per cent emissions drop by 2030 across its entire value chain compared to 1990 levels.
The objective has been published as part of the association?? sustainability roadmap to 2050. It is a tightening of the previous target of 27 per cent by 2030.
