Unacem (ISIN PEP239001006) received approval for an updated environmental study covering its Las Dunas gypsum operation on October 1, 2026, according to Energiminas. The approval gives the Peru operation a defined regulatory milestone as the group expands its cement, concrete and energy activities.

The company-specific operating picture is also quantified. A September 22, 2026 report from BN Periodismo said consolidated second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 573.50 million, up 10.60 percent from the same period of 2025. Net income reached USD 52.10 million in the same quarter.

What does the approval mean?

The Las Dunas decision concerns a gypsum quarry operated by UNACEM Peru in the Ica region. Resolution 00108-2026-SENACE-PE/DEIN, dated September 25, 2026, formalized the environmental approval that was reported on October 1. The project therefore adds a regulatory data point to the group's operating expansion rather than changing the reported second-quarter figures.

Three dated milestones

On May 5, 2026, Grupo UNACEM said it had entered the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index, according to the company's investor-relations page. On September 22, 2026, the company was reported with USD 573.50 million of second-quarter revenue and USD 52.10 million of net income. On October 1, 2026, the Las Dunas environmental-study update was approved under Resolution 00108-2026.

Regulatory progress and operations

The sequence connects sustainability positioning with a concrete operating asset. The Las Dunas unit extracts gypsum through open-pit mining, while the group describes its businesses as cement, concrete, energy and related services. For investors, the useful comparison is between the 10.60 percent second-quarter revenue increase and the newly documented regulatory milestone, because the two figures describe different parts of the company story.
