  • Lumina Sustainable Materials A/S is committed to environmental sustainability, integrating eco-friendly practices across operations. However, the journey towards full sustainability is ongoing. For instance, power for mining operations currently relies on diesel generators. This highlights a critical area for improvement, as Lumina aims to transition to more sustainable energy sources, underlining the company's dedication to continuous environmental progress and innovation.
