REPORT SPEED/SUSTAINABILITY
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) is based on the requirements of the ISO 14001:2015 standard. We implement it under the PHVA continuous improvement cycle: Plan, Do, Verify and Act.
Precautionary principle:From the perspective of viability and environmental management, we identify the potential environmental aspects and impacts associated with our operations. We use a life-cycle approach and apply selfmanagement activities, such as socio-environmental due diligence and scouting, to identify and assess environmental risks early. This process is carried out in the pre-feasibility, pre-operational and operational stages of projects, works and activities.
Identification and management of impacts: We identify and evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the activities carried out during all stages of our projects. We ensure the implementation of the mitigation hierarchy, for which we define the corresponding prevention, mitigation, correction or compensation measures.
Environmental management approach:We make guidelines and implement actions focused on the responsible management of water, biodiversity, and climate change, transversally integrating the circular economy as a catalyst of our environmental performance, to prevent and mitigate the environmental impacts and risks associated with our operations and to fulfill our value promise.
Verification: Our EMS is verified and audited, and certified according to the ISO 14001:2015 standard for our operations in Colombia, which accounted for 97% of operated production in 2023. Showing our commitment to the EMS, in 2023 we obtained the renewal of the certification through August 2026.
