ISA, through Conexi\u00f3n Jaguar Program, in technical alliance with South Pole and Panthera, was voted by external organizations as the \u201cBest Corporate Emission-Offsetting Program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">ISA has a strategy to address climate change, aligned with the priorities and joint actions of governments, society, and companies. Since 2011, the multi-Latin group began to offset its emissions through the purchase of carbon credits, today with more than 25.000 tons of CO2 offset in several of its energy transmission companies, it is one of the few companies in Colombia to be carbon neutral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">But the commitment goes further with Conexi\u00f3n Jaguar, the company has moved from a role as a purchaser of credits to support forestry projects in Latin America, where carbon credits certified under the highest international standards are issued and traded. Currently, the program supports seven initiatives in Colombia, Brazil and Peru that add up to a potential reduction of more than 6.000.000 tons of CO2 in 784.908 hectares of forest, with 167 species of fauna registered in the Jaguar Corridor, which coincide with the territories where the company is present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;Without a doubt, we are very proud to receive this recognition. As a company, we have a clear commitment to operate our business within a framework of environmentally sustainable development and to contribute in a decisive manner to global causes such as biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. We extend the invitation for other companies to join us by offsetting their emissions with projects from our program,&#8221; said Mar\u00eda Adelaida Correa, ISA&#8217;s Sustainability Director.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">This is the only Colombian company in the ranking with Conexi\u00f3n Jaguar and was described by one of the voters as &#8220;an emblematic initiative in the public services sector&#8221;, while another recognized the work done by the program to educate local populations so that the initiative has &#8220;a lasting impact&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The award is granted by Environmental Finance, a British organization that is an international leader in environmental markets analysis, green finance, and sustainable investments.
