Invested in water and biodiversity projects, benefitting over 4,000 people
We recognize the critical role of nature in community development, well-being, and business continuity. By managing impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities, we ensure the protection and efficient, responsible use of water and we implement measures for the preservation, restoration, and sustainable utilization of biodiversity. Through these efforts, we contribute to the maintenance of ecosystem services within our areas of influence.
We promote initiatives that safeguard water and biodiversity through various approaches, including conservation, education, restoration and participatory science.
Developed together with the Humboldt Institute, the plan focuses on identifying nature-related impacts and dependencies, assessing landscape resilience and designing nature-based solutions.
Infrastructure project that reached 90% completion in 2024 and will improve basic sanitation through a US$ 2.9 million investment.
We contributed more than 88,000 biodiversity records from these regions to SiB Colombia and GBIF, which have been used in more than 230 scientific publications.
Together with local communities in Putumayo, we monitored birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, and with the Humboldt Institute we carried out bioacoustic monitoring.
We provided the first environmental education classroom built under bioclimatic principles, achieving a 49% smaller ecological footprint compared to traditional classrooms.
Partnering with experts, authorities, and communities has been key to scaling the impact of our actions. Our strategic partners in water and biodiversity management include:
Alexander von Humboldt Institute
Orinoquía Biodiversa Foundation
Corporinoquia
Corpoamazonia
SiB Colombia
Global Biodiversity Information Facility
National Environmental Licensing Authority
Water and biodiversity management is supported by a governance scheme that stretches from the Board of Directors to technical teams in the field. The Strategy, Sustainability and Legal Area sets strategic guidelines and leads the supervision of the system, while the Environmental and Nature and Neighbors areas implement actions, monitor indicators and ensure compliance with our standards.
