207-1 Approach to tax

Tax strategy is developed to align with business strategy. We work to constantly integrate the two.
The corporation’s tax strategy is based on five principles – tax efficiency, transparency, tax responsibility, the prevention of tax risk and the respect of jurisdictional law and OECD guidelines.
We apply responsible tax policies and are committed to building relationships with tax authorities.

Wastewater (ARI) discharge is governed by Decree 1207 of 2014 ART. Wastewater falling under the 7th Quality Criteria, Number 2 Industrial, Industrial Wastewater (ARI) is treated through reverse osmosis and later used for road irrigation and the preparation of sludge and brines. Wastewater that does not meet these parameters is treated by a specialized provider before disposal. Wastewater (ARD) is governed by Decree 1076 of 2015, Article 2.2.3.3.9.14, and Article 2.2.3.3.9.15. It is processed in treatment plants and undergoes land disposal. Prior to land disposal a simulation of loads is calculated using an environmental impact study. This determines possible contaminant concentration levels and demonstrates that concentrations in soil and groundwater will be below regulatory limits.

We give new contractors an Environmental Addendum describing regulatory guidelines and our expectations for their environmental behaviour. They are required to develop an Environmental Quality Plan, and we give them the Environmental Compliance Action Plan we use to verify their capacity to manage resource consumption and waste generation. During contract execution, contractors must regularly report on their activities and give us a monthly database with environmental metrics. They must record any findings, which are then monitored by our environmental supervisors in the field. At the end of the project we request a final database with the updated project information, and an environmental folder including actions taken and records for resource consumption and waste generation traceability.

Our Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHS-MS) meets the legal requirements established in Colombia by the Ministry of Labor. In 2020, through a self-evaluation of the Minimum OHS Standards, we achieved 100% compliance. The Management System is also certified under the international OHSAS 18001 standard.
In 2020, we completed the plan for transitioning the OHS Management System to ISO 45001, in favor of safe and healthy worksites and improved implementation of the Integrated Management System’s requirements.
During 2020, we included assurance of the biosafety protocol for direct employees, contractors, and subcontractors in the Occupational Health Program. It ensures compliance with the protocol at associated companies and compliance with the entry protocol for our operations. Compliance with Resolution 666 and 797 of 2020, GIPS21 Ministry of Health.

SDG 3

403-2 Hazard identification, risk assessment, and incident investigation

Processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine basis, and to apply the hierarchy of controls in order to eliminate hazards and minimize risks.

We follow the Colombian Technical Guideline 45 (GTC 45) methodology to identify hazards and assess risks in our operation’s processes and activities. It allows us to recognize, identify and assess potential risks that could seriously threaten the health and safety of workers and the achievement of business objectives, and to determine the efficacy of the controls for mitigating those risks. To identify hazards at worksites, we use:

- The work permit system providing authorization from supervisors.

- Job safety analysis which identifies the steps, hazards, and controls for doing work safely.

- Employee participation in reporting unsafe actions and conditions, to take action before starting the work.

- Safety inspections by multidisciplinary teams to identify findings or deviations in connection with tools, equipment, or worksite conditions, and to verify compliance with practices and procedures.

In 2020, we improved the hazard identification process for all activities, by promoting the participation of all employees and contractors. All suggestions and contributions were considered to advance controls, enhance safety work, and prevent incidents. Additionally, employee and contractors’ participation has increase motivation and commitment to safety.

Processes for workers to report work-related hazards and hazardous situations, and an explanation of how workers are protected against reprisals.

The Safety Target Program encourages workers and contractors to report good work practices and unsafe actions and conditions they identify at the worksite. A speak up culture is embedded in all the organization, empowering employees, and contractors to be aware of risks and act accordingly. Monitoring worksites and making preventive observations helps correct unsafe behavior while giving positive reinforcement for safe behavior through constructive communication.

Policies and processes for workers to remove themselves from work situations that they believe could cause injury or ill health, and an explanation of how workers are protected against reprisals.

All workers at Canacol are in the responsibility and obligation to stop work if unsafe conditions or behaviors are occurring until improvements are done. This encourages worker participation to stop unsafe jobs without negative repercussions and contribute to incident prevention and safety.

Description of the processes used to investigate work-related incidents, including the processes to identify hazards and assess risks relating to the incidents, to determine corrective actions using the hierarchy of controls, and to determine improvements needed in the occupational health and safety management system.

The Causal Chain Analysis determines what actions we can take to avoid a repetition of events. Aligned with the preventive culture we daily reinforce, at Canacol we look for the possible causes of work incidents and accidents to make corrective actions and improvements.

We investigate all work-related accidents, regardless of their severity. This allows us to identify and understand real and potential situations of risk and implement corrective and preventive measures, improving health and safety at work

Workers’ contributions prevent occupational hazards with their active involvement in planning, executing, and evaluating activities.
Canacol facilitates timely access to information on the OHS Management System. It promotes worker identification and reporting of hazards, risks, and unsafe actions and conditions, encouraging them to make suggestions and observations regarding actions to eliminate hazards and to minimize occupational health and safety risks. In addition, COPASST members participate in incident investigation, and develop and review OHS policies and objectives.
The active participation of workers helps identify problems and their causes, find practical solutions, and develop safe work procedures.

413-2 Operations with significant actual and potential negative impacts on local communities

During the development of environmental impact studies, the company establishes 3 important moments of socialization with
the community and local authorities. The first one in which the company reports the technical scope of the project and the EIA.
During the second moment, the company leads a workshop with the purpose to cooperatively identify possible environmental
risk and management measures associated with the project. Finally, during the third moment, the company communicates to the
community, local authorities, and regional environmental authorities the obtained results.
Once the environmental license is granted, the company is responsible to communicate it to the communities of the area of
influence and municipal authorities. During the socialization of the environmental license, it is made clear that the document is
available to any interested party. Also, since the granting of the administrative act, the document is available for public consultation,
through the information systems of regional and national environmental authorities.
The company is also responsible for developing the Environmental Management Plans associated with the project and to
communicate and review with the communities of the influenced area and local authorities the EIA process and licensing
obligations.

The potential social impacts identified in the supply chain are: Non-compliance with the Comprehensive Social Responsibility policy by Contrastists and Subcontractors, generating consequences for Canacol’s operational normality, reputation, and public order in the areas of operation. Undue pressure on the part of the JACs, for the contracting of a good or service, local and national. Migration of suppliers from areas with more experience in the Oil and Gas sector. Influence of political actors on communities to obtain particular benefits.
