Relationships of trust with our stakeholders

Apr 30, 2020

Ecopetrol frames Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within a clear guide on Relations with its Stakeholders that aims to ensure the trust and reputation of the company and the sustainability of the business in the long-term. This involves the integration of the following elements as a fundamental part of its corporate management:

A. Review expectations and set commitments to stakeholders
Ecopetrol must regularly review the expectations of its stakeholders and establish an explicit relation commitment with each of them. To establish these commitments, Ecopetrol must take into account the company´s objectives and strategic directions.

B. CSR corporate management system
Commitments made to stakeholders must be viable and verifiable. In order to monitor their fulfillment, they must be supported by strategic objectives, practices, indicators and targets. These management mechanisms make it possible to monitor compliance with the commitments and facilitate the achievement of the targets set.

C. CSR practices
Ecopetrol must be a leader in the identification and implementation of CSR practices, which ensure compliance with the commitments made. This requires ongoing work aimed at identifying and promoting the adoption of mutually beneficial practices in the management of relations with its stakeholders.

D. Relations capability
Ecopetrol must institutionalize its stakeholder relations strategy and incorporate it into its models of Culture and Leadership. This involves strengthening the relationship capabilities of staff members, contractors and other relevant actors that represent it, so that they can build relationships of trust based on actions that are transparent and consistent with the commitments made with each stakeholder, the Code of Ethics and the Corporate Governance Code of Ecopetrol.

The receipt and response to requests, complaints and claims, has as its main objective to achieve effective communication between Ecopetrol S.A. and its stakeholders. 


Under this approach, through the channels of: Mail, email, phone and personal contact, the Organization receives different RCCs (Requests, Complaints and Claims) centralizing their recording in the Citizen Participation Office, which ensures timely and effective response to citizens, through the monitoring of each and every one of the RCCs received. The handling of RCCs not only allows direct response to the concerns of citizens, but also feeds the monitoring process. 

The Citizen Participation Office creates and provides opportunities for interaction between stakeholders and Ecopetrol, where rights, ethics, transparency and the corporate reputation are strengthened. Good practice, Standards ISO 10002, 10003 and COPC (international standard that defines best practices for operation and service to customers) give us tools that allow us to encourage stakeholders to express their concerns and thus reduce the number of unsaid problems, which once expressed through requests, complaints, claims and suggestions, are addressed efficiently using customer service methodology, thus improving satisfaction, trust and loyalty in all stakeholders.
