Guías Colombia Recognizes GeoPark for its Commitment to Promoting Human Rights

In the framework of the High-Level Assembly of Guías Colombia, GeoPark was recognized for its work in raising awareness among its stakeholders about the relevance of Human Rights in the business field, through technology, including digital media, achieving effective, transparent, and far-reaching communication. This recognition underscores GeoPark's commitment to respecting human rights, demonstrating the transformative power of technologies to promote the well-being and respect of its stakeholders.

Guías Colombia is a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together companies, civil society organizations, entities of the Colombian State, and international organizations. Its mission is to manage knowledge and promote responsible business conduct that integrates respect for human rights and International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

For GeoPark, respect for human rights is an essential and cross-cutting enabler of its management and the fundamental principle for creating value for all its stakeholders. This vision is supported by a corporate commitment to respect human rights aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

“This recognition motivates us to continue promoting conscious and active communication to reach more people with a powerful message: respect for human rights is the foundation for responsible business conduct. We thank Guías Colombia for its leadership in promoting and deepening this important issue and reiterate our interest in continuing to work together to elevate business management in the promotion and respect of human rights,” expressed Santiago Martínez, Sustainability Manager of GeoPark.

At this event, which included the participation of the Canadian Ambassador to Colombia, Marianick Tremblay, and the Swiss Ambassador to Colombia, Eric Mayoraz, Guías Colombia also highlighted the management of nine other public and private entities that stand out for their commitment to promoting human rights. GeoPark congratulates these organizations for their invaluable contribution and reiterates its commitment to continue working with Guías Colombia to strengthen responsible business management in the country.
