“Human Rights at Ecopetrol begin in each one of us, in our homes, in our workplace, in the spaces for dialogue with communities, in every action of our operation. As a company "From All to All" we recognize, among others, diversity and inclusion, we seek the safety of our employees, and we promote the Sustainable Development Goals”.
Felipe Bayón - CEO
Our Commitment
Ecopetrol Group´s Guide on Human Rights and Business was updated in 2021.
The Guide on Human Rights and Business reflects Ecopetrol Group's commitment to respecting and promoting Human Rights in the development of its activities and within the framework of its relations with stakeholders.
Through the Guide, Ecopetrol Group highlights its adherence to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP), the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Also, its commitment to other national and international standards on Human Rights.
Six principles guide Ecopetrol's Human Rights integration in business practice:
- Due diligence in HHRR: risks identification associated with human rights derived from business activities to prevent, mitigate, and if applicable, repair.
- Cross-cutting nature: understanding of human rights as a cross-cutting issue for all stakeholders and Ecopetrol’s activities.
- Complementarity: recognition of the role of the State in guaranteeing and respecting human rights and the complementary role of companies in respecting, advancing, and remediating in case of damage.
- Collaborative work: articulation of Ecopetrol with the human rights integration in business practices carried out by public entities, private entities, and international organizations, among others.
- Differential approach: respect for the rights of people who belong to groups or populations that may be particularly vulnerable to adverse impacts on their HHRR.
- Monitoring and self-assessment: continuous improvement of assessments and monitoring of human rights practices.
