ConocoPhillips Colombia delivers humanitarian aid to families in the communities of its area of influence

ConocoPhillips Colombia benefited over 200 families living in the communities of Cuatro Bocas and Pita Limón, in San Martín, Cesar, an area of influence of the oil company.

The company conducted a count of the total families located in the area, in order to ensure that none were left without receiving this benefit. ConocoPhillips Colombia understands the difficult situation generated by COVID-19 and its economic effects on the communities, which is why, based on its principle of being a good neighbor and operator, and despite not having current operations in the area, the company agreed to offer this humanitarian aid.

The markets included non-perishable food, basic basket products, and cleaning supplies. These items were organized and packaged according to the necessary biosecurity standards for handling, so that in the preparation, transportation, and delivery, there was a strict protocol to keep the food in optimal hygiene and health conditions.

It is expected that this aid will benefit approximately 500 people. The San Martín Mayor's Office accompanied the delivery of the markets, as well as community leaders from the beneficiary communities, thus ensuring that all biosecurity measures were met to guarantee the health of the communities.

For ConocoPhillips Colombia, this type of cooperative effort between authorities and the company has one goal, to benefit and support those who need it most,“this is an important aid for our company, which will benefit the populations of the rural area of the municipality of San Martín, communities with many needs and that in coordination with community leaders and municipal authorities we make a reality for the well-being of families, and especially of the children who are the future of tomorrow” said José Salazar, Environmental and Social Advisor for ConocoPhillips Colombia.

For its part, the community expressed gratitude and happiness for receiving this humanitarian support during the mandatory isolation period,“From the entire community, we want to thank you for the detail, very timely, thank you ConocoPhillips. We hope that better times come for everyone in the future” said María Isabel Suárez, a member of the Pita limón community.

In this way, ConocoPhillips Colombia continues to demonstrate its support for the communities, hoping that better times will come in the future and that we can continue working together for the common benefit.
