Resettlements
Ecopetrol has a population resettlement procedure aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and international standards such as World Bank OP 4-12- Involuntary Resettlement, the Inter-American Development Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and Guidelines (IDB OP-710), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Handbook for Preparing a Resettlement. This procedure provides the conceptual and methodological basis for preventing, mitigating, rectifying, and compensating for the social and economic impacts of involuntary displacement resulting from the Company’s activities and projects. It also specifies actions to restore socioeconomic conditions and to develop opportunities for the population during temporary relocation or permanent resettlement.
The following programs set out the measures agreed upon with the population to be resettled:
- Information, communication, and participation: Creates a direct and ongoing communication channel to streamline the process with the population to be resettled, reducing uncertainty among social groups.
- Social support: Involves establishing strategies and actions for inter-institutional coordination to ensure access to social services at the new settlement. It includes providing comprehensive support, developing conflict-management strategies, and identifying family and social networks to support the process.
- Economic Recovery Assistance: Involves actions to restore the economic conditions of social units and to generate additional alternatives for this population.
- Infrastructure acquisition: includes legal, technical, and compensation assessments.
