Peru: Cemento Gloria subsidiary Cemento Yura's Yura cement plant has allegedly been the source of intermittent dust emissions, water contamination and destructive vibrations during its 50 years of operation. In May 2022, local authorities declared four houses uninhabitable due to cracks in walls and roof collapses. Local people have attributed the damage to the vibrations from the Yura cement plant's activities. In November 2022, local water supply is unavailable for over 40 minutes every day, allegedly also due to the plant's operations.
The La República newspaper has reported that Yura residents have launched a protest against the alleged environmental mismanagement outside of the company's plant.
