This pillar aims to strengthen transparent and ethical trust-based relationships in the context of a just energy transition. It refers to both public and private interventions designed to gradually transform the economic structure toward a low-carbon, socially inclusive, and environmentally responsible model.

At the core of the just transition concept is the recognition of the urgent need for a sustainable environmental transformation, enabled through participatory approaches, where innovation and technology act as key catalysts to accelerate solutions to future challenges.

Key commitments include:

• Approximately COP 0.6 trillion per year allocated to social investment in the territories where we operate.
• Acceleration of energy efficiency targets, aiming to optimize internal consumption through a cumulative reduction of 25 PJ by 2030.
• Reduction of methane emissions by 55% by 2030, alongside a commitment to full decarbonization of operations by 2050.
• Water management goals, including achieving water neutrality by 2045, through a 66% reduction in water withdrawals, zero discharges, and offsetting the remaining 34% of water use.
