Reporting our January-April 2025 socio-environmental management in Colombia

At GeoPark, we believe that sustainable territorial development is built on trust, permanent dialogue and joint action. In January-April 2025, we put this into practice in each of the regions where we operate, strengthening our relationships with communities, local authorities and strategic partners.

Our ‘Good News, Good Neighbors’ newsletter shares the stand-out work in our socio-environmental management in Putumayo, Meta and Casanare. Highlights include:

Dialogue is Progress

• We held over 160 dialogue opportunities with communities and authorities
• We received more than 800 visits to Cuéntame offices in Casanare and Putumayo

Promoting local development

• More than 1,600 workers were hired to support our operations in the three departments, of whom more than 80% were local
• We signed procurement contracts with 106 local companies, strengthening the business environment and promoting regional productive development

Socio-environmental investment

• We provided almost 7,000 study kits to children who neighbor our operations

• In Putumayo, we made 95% progress in the construction of the Puerto Bello School (Puerto Asis, Putumayo) and completed improvements to six rural schools in Puerto Asis

• In Casanare, we supported the education of more than 520 children from 7 rural schools in partnership with the Escuela Nueva Foundation
