4 Promigas More than 40 years of taking progress and wellbeing to Colombia and Peru as we carry out our activities effectively and responsibly. We transport 52% of Colombia s natural gas through a network of more than 3,000 km of gas pipelines belonging to ourselves and to our carriers, and we provide services for hydrocarbon producers and big industries that include natural gas compression and dehydration, the construction of gas pipelines and interconnection lines, and energy solutions such as generation, cogeneration and self-generation. Our affiliate Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) operates a floating regasification terminal that is permanently anchored at a port in Cartagena Bay, where it processes more than 400 Mpcd. It is the first of its kind in the country, and not only will it ensure that the natural gas needs of electricity generating companies can be met at times of peak demand, it will also make it possible for the country to access the international LNG market. In Colombia, we distribute natural gas to around 3.4 million users, which is nearly 40% of the domestic market and translates into around 12 million beneficiaries, while in Peru we distribute to over 575,000 users through our share in Cálidda and Quavii and will reach a further 150,000 users in the north of the country in the next five years. We operate and maintain approximately 26,000 km of electricity distribution networks, providing around 370,000 users with this service in 38 towns in the south of the country.

5 We develop energy markets directly and through our strategic transportation and distribution business groups. The former consists of organizations involved in the transportation of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), the provision of integrated solutions for industry, and energy generation, and the latter of natural gas distribution companies, electricity utility and the non-banking finance business. We have been involved in the Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) business, which we pioneered, for more than 24 years. This has had positive economic and environmental impacts, due to the very characteristics of the fuel, and we continue to search for new growth opportunities. We have an AAA rating for issues in Colombia and an international BBB- rating for local and foreign currency IDR issues. We also hold ISO 9001 quality system, OHSAS occupational health and safety, and ISO environmental certifications. We are committed to the Global Compact and its principles, including the Caring for Climate initiative and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We constantly check the sustainability of our activities and we compare ourselves against the highest standards on the subject, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which allows us to progress and to fill in any gaps that might be identified, in order to improve our economic, social and environmental performance. Promigas has led the natural gas revolution in Colombia by creating a positive economic, social and environmental impact.

11 Compañía Energética de Occidente (CEO) wins RSE Andesco Award At the award ceremony which was held as part of the closing events at the XIX Andesco Congress, in 2017, CEO was the company that won the RSE award in the Best Corporate Governance Environment category, for its implementation of strategies aimed at reinforcing the organization s principles and values. Brilla today has two million users With two million loans totaling USD 644 million granted in ten years and recognition by the World Bank, G-20, Financial Times and IFC, Brilla is an example of a successful, inclusive project in Colombia. Promigas, which owns the Brilla brand, granted Gases del Caribe, Surtigas, Gases de Occidente, Gases de La Guajira and Efigas the right to use it, and also Compañía Energética de Occidente (CEO) from January Through this program, our company has helped to create a positive impact on the wellbeing of the most vulnerable households in terms of unsatisfied basic needs and problems with accessing formal credit. This is particularly clear when it is noted that the products most sold are building materials, electrical appliances, televisions, computers and, for the last two years, cell phones. Brilla began operations in 2007 when distributors of the Promigas portfolio started, at the request of this latter, to grant approved credit limits to users with a good payment record for their natural gas service connection. The program has been noted for its low past due portfolio, which confirms user responsibility and loyalty in response to the company s vote of confidence.

16 Relations with the Community WATTA KA>II, an initiative that won the RedEAmérica 3rd Latin America Transformers award. The WATTKA KA>II initiative, which is the result of an alliance between Promigas Foundation, Alpina Foundation and Fundación Caminos de Identidad (Fucai), won the RedEAmérica 3rd Latin America Transformers award in the Sustainable Communities and Private Social Investment category. Six indigenous communities in the municipality of Manaure (Chispana, Pactalia, Guaymaral, Chichitshii, Iyishpa and Polumatchon), in Colombia s La Guajira province, have been involved in Watta Ka>II, and the aim has been to work on restoring ways of earning a living, health care, food production, and education. We implemented social investment projects in different parts of our area of influence, and this enabled us to contribute to improving quality of life and progress there, to strengthen long-term relations with them, and to create a suitable environment for conducting gas infrastructure operations and maintenance.

17 Promigas Foundation is recognized by the Reincorporation and Normalization Agency (ARN). The national government s Reincorporation and Normalization Agency (ARN) granted Promigas public recognition, in the Business Reinforcement category (for its contribution to peace-building in the country), because of its interest, through its Foundation, in working as a strategic partner on initiatives that support the transformation toward building a sustainable and lasting peace in various scenarios by making it possible for more Colombians to have the opportunity to develop social and economic projects, all in a context of legality. In conjunction with our affiliates, we invested around USD 4.1 million in voluntary social management.

A diagnosis was carried out to that end, in order to identify and prioritize the principal risks and opportunities we will be faced with, and various branches of the organization took part in this.

19 We set ourselves a target of reducing our carbon footprint by 10% by In 2017 we achieved a 39% reduction on our 2015 baseline. We have also continued to maintain the epiphytes that were transferred to the Coraza and Montes de María Protective Forestry Reserve in Colosó, Sucre, as a result of which the survival rate of the species transferred rose from 85% to 90% and the birth rate from 21% to 29%, in a 6.2-hectare area. We have continued to take part in the Biodiversity and Development initiative headed by the Colombian National Businessmen s Association (ANDI), with support from Colombian National Parks and the Alexander von Humboldt Institute.
