As dialogue, shared work, and transparency are fundamental to GeoPark in building relationships of trust with neighboring communities and authorities, we prepare a ‘Good News, Good Neighbors’ newsletter to keep neighbors, authorities and others up to date on the progress of our social and environmental management in Meta.
This edition covers January-April 2025 and includes data on our dialogue with neighboring communities, the fulfillment of our commitments, and the progress of territorial development projects that we jointly develop.
Significant advances in the period include:
Dialogue is Progress:
- 19 meetings with communities
- +100 hours supporting entrepreneurs.
- We launched José, the Good Neighbor, a new service channel for our contractors and suppliers
Transparency in Action
- We launched the Transparency Portal that provides environmental information for our oil and gas exploration and production projects in Colombia
Promoting local development:
- +160 workers are linked to our operations
- 80% of workers are local
- 17 local companies provide goods and services
Social and environmental investment:
- +2,500 study kits for children in areas neighboring our operation
- More than 42% progress in the construction of the Orinoquia Regional Monitoring Center, in partnership with IDEAM
- Our monitoring of flora and fauna in Meta, Casanare and Putumayo has resulted in over 59,200 records being contributed to the Colombian Biodiversity Information System (SiB Colombia)
