Environmental sustainability is an essential part of the way we operate; we implement practices that minimize impact, protect ecosystems and promote a harmonious relationship with nature. We adopt concrete measures to care for ecosystems, such as the rehabilitation of disturbed areas, the protection of native flora and fauna, and the strengthening of an environmental culture among the GOE team and neighboring communities.
In addition, we implement campaigns that are part of our environmental strategy, aligned with our sustainability policy and in strict compliance with applicable regulations.

Relevant data
- During the bird survey conducted in October 2014, 47 bird species were identified in the area affected by Gente Oil Ecuador’s operations. Ten years later, in December 2024, the number of recorded species had increased to 78.
- As part of our commitment to responsible development, the company is making a strategic investment to phase out flaring in Block 53. This initiative prioritizes the utilization of associated gas, which will be used for power generation, significantly reducing emissions and optimizing the use of resources. The complete shutdown of the flare is projected to be completed in 2028, marking a key step toward a more efficient and sustainable operation.
- As part of our sustainability strategy and efforts to protect water resources, we conduct rigorous monitoring of effluents, nearby bodies of water, and groundwater to prevent any type of contamination. We have contingency plans in place for spills, utilizing efficient technology and timely responses that minimize environmental risks. Furthermore, we do not discharge industrial wastewater, as formation water is treated and reinjected, ensuring responsible water resource management. The sludge and cuttings generated during drilling are delivered to authorized environmental management companies, which ensure proper treatment and safe final disposal.
Every action is guided by a clear vision:
Operate responsibly, preserve biodiversity, and leave a positive impact on the region we share.
