Climate change

Through energy and our business strategy, we improve lives, bring progress and contribute to the mitigation of climate change and to the development of inclusive, low-carbon and resilient economies.

Mitigating and adapting to climate change is an integral part of our corporate and sustainability strategy. Consequently, the gradual reduction of GHG emissions and adaptation of the infrastructure are central components of the Group’s project and operation planning, execution and operation process.

 

 

 

 

The Board of Directors is the highest body that oversees the risks and opportunities related to climate change, supported by four committees:


1. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.
2. The Audit and Risk Committee.
3. Talent, Culture and Innovation Committee.
4. Finance and Investment Committee.

 

Seeks to harmonize the operations of GEB and its subsidiaries with the mitigation and adaptation objectives of the countries in which it operates.

The Grupo Energía Bogotá measures and manages greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with international standards, defines reduction pathways, prioritizes efficiency, and promotes innovative and cost‑efficient solutions.
The following chart presents GEB’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2025, including emergency-related emissions:

How is performance evaluated?
GEB monitors operational Scope 1 and 2 emissions by comparing them against the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario. This scenario represents the estimated emissions that would occur in the absence of mitigation measures, considering projected operational growth and historical emission trends. The target does not include emergency-related emissions.

2025 emissions reduction target: 18%

 

The following table shows the historical Scope 1 and 2 emissions and the 2025 target

Scope 2 (Location-based)metric tonnes of CO2 equivalents2013,3424.161,7319.366,8620.058,5721.331,11

 

In 2025, the Board of Directors set a target to reduce operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 18%, using the projected Business as Usual (BAU) scenario for that year as a baseline. By year-end, the Group’s operational emissions, excluding emergencies, totaled 300,591 tCO₂e, representing a 28% reduction compared to the 2025 BAU scenario (416,741 tCO₂e).

The adjustment of the targets reflects the Grupo Empresarial and its Board of Directors’ commitment to transparency with stakeholders. GEB will continue to identify and invest in cost‑efficient emission reduction initiatives.
 

GEB, in addition to managing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, continues to strengthen the measurement of Scope 3 by progressively incorporating new emission sources. In 2025, these emissions reached 15.09 million tCO₂e. The following chart highlights the main contributing sources.

Emissions Verification
Verifying the emissions inventory is fundamental because it guarantees the accuracy and credibility of the reported data. This verification ensures compliance with the ISO 14064 standard and strengthens transparency with investors, clients, and other stakeholders. Having validated information enables more effective decision-making to reduce emissions and advance sustainability commitments.

The GEB is working on the design of adaptation measures to operate the infrastructure under extreme weather conditions. In 2024, it began assessing the vulnerability of the infrastructure and defining adaptation plans for Enlaza and TGI.

 

001 adaptation

 

The main adaptation initiatives identified are:


Flooding: Implementation of pumping systems, changes in flood elevations and drainage to prevent and control flood risk.
Mass removal: Periodic inspection and preventive maintenance of infrastructure in risk areas, and geotechnical works.


Forest fires: Firebreaks and specialised equipment for fire prevention and suppression.


Heat waves: Maintenance and reinforcement of ventilation and air conditioning systems to ensure continuous operation.


Droughts: Installation of rainwater collection and storage systems to ensure a water supply.


Windstorms: Reinforcing structures, foundations and transmission lines to improve resilience to high winds.


Thunderstorms: Installation of surge and lightning protection systems.


Cross-cutting measure: Institutional coordination between territorial levels to integrate climate change adaptation into energy sector planning and risk management.


Conservation and restoration of strategic ecosystems within the operational area.

 

Climate Change Adaptation Plan

 

GEB contributes to the diversification of the energy matrix and to increasing the resilience of the electricity systems of the countries in which it operates, facilitating the transmission of clean energy, the growth of sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, the use of solar and wind energy and the incorporation of new energy sources, such as hydrogen.
