- Grupo UNACEM joined the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index on May 5, 2026.

- UNACEM remains a central-region cement leader in Peru, competing with Caliza Inca and imports.
Grupo UNACEM entered the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index on May 5, 2026, according to the company's investor page. The inclusion places the Peruvian industrial group in a sustainability benchmark covering companies across the regional market.
Sustainability joins growth priorities
Grupo UNACEM presents the index entry alongside a strategy focused on sustainable construction, operating efficiency and renewable energy. Its investor materials identify cement, concrete, energy and related services as the group's main activities.
For investors, the development is relevant because sustainability commitments increasingly shape access to capital, customer requirements and long-term operating costs in heavy industry. The index entry does not by itself establish a change in earnings or valuation, but it adds a non-financial indicator to the company's regional expansion story.
Competitive position in Peru
UNACEM's position in Peru's central cement market contrasts with the regional footprint of other producers. An Investing.com analysis identifies Caliza Inca and imports as competitors in the central region, while the Yura group is prominent in southern Peru. Pacasmayo is more concentrated in the north, giving UNACEM a distinct central-market position rather than a uniform national footprint.
What Grupo UNACEM does
Grupo UNACEM produces cement and concrete and also operates in energy and related services, with Peru as its home market and additional regional activities. Its business serves construction and infrastructure demand, where energy use and production efficiency are material operating factors. The group is more centrally positioned in Peru than Pacasmayo, while Caliza Inca and Yura represent more focused regional competition. That mix leaves UNACEM exposed to construction cycles but gives it a broad platform across core building materials and adjacent services.
