This document has been created using the Core Conformity option stipulated by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for drafting G4 sustainability reports, covering the period from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016.
In terms of the information published in previous years, there has been no reformulation of the data used, meaning that the information published previously has not been modified. Furthermore, although there is a Regional Report that consolidates the most relevant statistics regarding operations under this new structure (BS-LAN), this report focuses exclusively on Colombia, which is why there are no significant changes to the scope and coverage found in previous years.
