Our strategy
The Nature Strategy recognizes widespread concerns regarding ecosystem degradation, as well as the expectations and opportunities for their conservation and restoration. It is grounded in the strategies, guidelines, and commitments adopted by the Group.
“Objective.
Establish nature conservation actions based on sustainable use, conservation, and ecosystem restoration, with a focus on the well-being and prosperity of local communities.”
Our Management:
At Grupo Energía Bogotá (GEB), we implement actions aimed at avoiding, mitigating, restoring, and transforming ecosystems, while strengthening the capacities and well-being of communities within our areas of influence. The main progress achieved during 2025 is presented below.
Risk and Opportunity Management
For the first time, GEB presents its TNFD Report, the global reference framework for managing nature-related financial risks and opportunities. Discover how we did it.
In line with the Nature Strategy, the LEAP methodology from the framework was applied through the execution of six pilots across subsidiaries in Peru, Guatemala, and Colombia. These pilots assessed material dependencies and impacts on key ecosystem services across each business value chain (upstream, direct operations, and downstream).
N° | Risk Type | Description | Impact | Impact (Probability × Consequence) | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Chronic physical | Landslides, floods and soil instability due to loss of vegetation cover. |
| Low |
|
2 | Chronic physical | Ecosystem fragmentation in linear energy transmission and gas transport projects |
| Medium |
|
3 | Acute physical | Occurrence of extreme weather events (storms, droughts, high temperatures, etc.). |
| Medium |
|
4 | Reputational | Limited community access to resources and habitats due to the presence of company infrastructure. |
| Low |
|
5 | Political | Regulatory changes that increase environmental management requirements. |
| Low |
|
6 | Market | Reduced availability of natural resources (water, aggregates, timber) due to climate or social factors. |
| Medium |
|
7 | Market | Increase in costs of inputs and materials due to global market disruptions (steel, copper, concrete) or fuels. |
| Medium |
|
8 | Technological | Increase in costs due to new investments required to adapt infrastructure to permanent or temporary climate changes. |
| Medium |
|
9 | Liability |
|
| Low |

“Biodiversity exposure and assessment”
At GEB, we are aware that due to the nature of our operations and the geographic location in which we operate, some of our activities take place in areas with high biodiversity richness.
Therefore, in all cases in which our operations are located in biodiverse territories, we carry out rigorous Environmental Impact Studies that allow us to identify possible effects on ecosystems and establish Environmental Management Plans aimed at preventing, mitigating and, when necessary, compensating for such impacts.
This approach allows us to operate in a responsible manner, aligned with our commitment to the conservation of nature and the well-being of local communities.
