For GeoPark and other publicly traded companies, Forbes considered ESG risk ratings available from research providers Morningstar and Sustainalytics.

These recognitions show how GeoPark is heading in the right direction by incorporating sustainability as an integral part of the business model, operating with the financial discipline, environmental management and social commitment that differentiates us in the industry. Reducing emissions, responsibly managing water and strengthening our relationships with communities, among other measures, make us more competitive.
