Bogotá, April 27, 2023. The Colombian Association of Oil and Gas will hold the second version of the Great ACP Forum: Sustainability Facts, an event aimed at highlighting the sector's contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, it is a space for conversation and analysis on the advances, challenges, and opportunities of the country and the industry on the path towards a gradual, responsible, and comprehensive energy transition.

The event, which will take place on May 3 and 4 at the Marriott Hotel in Barranquilla, will feature the participation of national and international speakers, leaders from the hydrocarbon industry, government officials, academics, opinion leaders, and regional actors, who will discuss key topics such as the roadmap towards transition, social energy justice, decarbonization, climate change adaptation, sustainable mobility, productive transformation, citizen participation, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, among others.

“It will be two days of sharing knowledge and experiences that contribute to the country's goal of fighting climate change and reducing the carbon footprint. In this, the oil, gas, and liquid fuels industry is playing a decisive role with visible actions, such as being the first sector to create a Comprehensive Plan for the mitigation, adaptation, and governance of climate change, implementing actions for energy efficiency and control of fugitive emissions, and promoting strategies focused on water and biodiversity conservation, technological innovation, and decarbonization projects, among others,” said the president of ACP, Francisco José Lloreda.

In the framework of the II Great Forum, the ACP will present the ‘Sustainability Facts Recognitions’, aimed at highlighting, promoting, and showcasing the best practices and management of companies in the hydrocarbon sector in compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The selection and curation of these recognitions were carried out with the advice of the organization Sentido Verde.
