Frontera Energy obtained the Gold Seal Equipares for its work for gender equality

Frontera Energy obtained the Gold Seal Equipares thanks to its commitment and effort to close gender gaps in the workplace and with its stakeholders in the territories where it operates. This recognition was granted by the Ministry of Labor and the Presidential Council for Women's Equity, with the technical support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Since 2016, Frontera set the goal of effectively implementing the gender equality management system in all its operations. Thanks to this, in 2017 it was the first company in the oil sector in Colombia to obtain the Silver Seal Equipares, and in 2018 it was reaffirmed with the certification for the second consecutive year.

From that moment on, the company aimed to achieve the Gold Seal, and for this, in 2020 it implemented an action plan focused on promoting the hiring and promotion of women, seeking greater balance between work and personal life, as well as achieving balance in professional development areas and leadership positions. Thanks to this, Frontera met all the necessary requirements to achieve this recognition.

Orlando Cabrales Segovia, CEO of the company, stated: “We are convinced that gender equity strengthens us and is essential to continue being an excellent place to work and to be a benchmark in the sector. Therefore, this Gold Seal is the result of a real and ongoing effort to be a company where the banner of inclusion and diversity is our guide.”
