Chevron Colombia joins energy and water savings campaign

Actions that we have been executing for several months in addition to new initiatives will contribute to the campaign for the rational and efficient use of energy and water.

Water savings. The implementation of the sustainable use and management system for rainwater for internal needs of washing tanks, structures, pipes, and filling at the Fuel Terminal will allow us to save an average of around 10,000 gallons of water in April in Buenaventura. This adds to the water reuse initiatives we have implemented in Cartagena and Bogotá through Wastewater Treatment Plants.

Energy savings. During the month of April, we will have low energy consumption in our offices thanks to the hybrid work initiative. In addition, our facilities already have efficient lighting technology implemented in our main offices and in the Terminals of Medellín, Cartagena, Buenaventura, and Bogotá that ensure lower energy consumption.

“At Chevron, we recognize the importance of jointly addressing the country's challenges and we join the water and energy savings initiatives led by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Ministry of Environment to combine efforts during this critical phase of the El Niño phenomenon,” said Alejandro Riveros, Corporate Affairs Manager of Chevron for Colombia.

Our operations team is working on adopting additional measures that will allow us to continue reducing our energy consumption efficiently while ensuring the supply of fuels to help the national government meet the energy needs of Colombians.
