GeoPark, a leading independent energy company with more than 20 years of operations across Latin America, climbed 10 positions in the Corporate Reputation Business Monitor (Merco) ranking of companies with the best reputation in Colombia. In 2025, GeoPark ranked 174 overall and fourth highest of five companies in the Oil and Hydrocarbon Distribution sector.

This result reflects the trust that GeoPark’s stakeholders have in the Company’s management, people, technical capacity, focus on excellence, and its commitment to sustainability. These elements have enabled GeoPark to contribute to the energy security and economic development of Colombia and the regions where it operates.

Merco’s methodology combines opinions from multiple stakeholders – including business executives, financial analysts, journalists, NGOs, unions, government and the general public – in six different areas: economic performance, innovation, ethics, talent, sustainability, and leadership. The process is independently audited by KPMG.

GeoPark’s Merco ranking is consistent with its achievements in its almost 23 years of history and its progress in the last year, which include:

  • Becoming one of the 100 largest companies in Colombia and one of the main private sector oil companies, producing over 28,000 barrels of oil per day in January-June 2025.
  • Having high safety standards that translate into zero recordable incidents, zero barrels of crude oil spilled for every million barrels produced, and zero environmental sanctions in 2024.
  • Reducing GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 28% versus 2020, reaching an intensity of 10.3 kgCO₂e/BOE, well below the global industry average of ~20 kgCO₂e/BOE, according to the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers.
  • Implementing six Energy Community projects, in partnership with the Ministry of Mines and Energy, to provide clean and reliable energy to rural areas.
  • Reducing water consumption in operations by 7.01% versus 2023.
  • Having a team in which 100% of employees are shareholders in the Company, with remuneration linked to climate change indicators.

For the 2025 ranking, Merco held more than 81,000 surveys on different stakeholders’ perceptions of companies operating in Colombia, reinforcing its position as one of the most recognized reputation indicators in Latin America and the world.

“Being among the companies with the best reputation in Colombia and among the top five in our sector highlights the consistent work of all the people who are part of GeoPark to build relationships of trust and operate responsibly, transparently and with a long-term vision. Reputation is earned with facts, and we will work to keep improving it every day,” GeoPark CEO Felipe Bayon said.

GeoPark will continue to strengthen its corporate strategy, underscoring its purpose to Create Value and Give Back in each territory it operates in.
