Ecobiz.asia – Nickel miner and processor PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (IDX: INCO) is targeting to reduce one-third of its carbon emissions from existing operations within five years.
President Director Bernardus Irmanto reaffirmed the company’s strong commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, with a clear roadmap to reduce one-third of its absolute carbon emissions from existing operations by 2030.
