These initiatives not only advance Loimua's Net Zero objectives but also contribute to a sustainable energy future, aligning with global climate action efforts.

Infrastructure upgrades further improved energy efficiency, while stakeholder engagement initiatives promoted sustainability throughout its supply chain, leading to the development of a biodiversity roadmap.
