Crudo Engaño
La nueva investigación de EIA expone cómo Ecopetrol, la mayor empresa petrolera de Colombia y de propiedad estatal, presuntamente ha estado cometiendo—y encubriendo—violaciones ambientales y de derechos humanos.
El informe se centra en los #IguanaPapers, una base de datos que documenta más de 300,000 infracciones, compilada por un denunciante que intentó alertar sobre actividades ilegales sistemáticas autorizadas por la alta gerencia de Ecopetrol.
Este denunciante, junto con activistas en todo el país, ha enfrentado intimidaciones y persecución por atreverse a hablar en contra de la industria petrolera. Nuestro informe destaca sus esfuerzos por abogar por un futuro energético más justo y transparente para Colombia. https://eia.org/report/crudo-engano/

Crude Lies
EIA's new investigation exposes how Ecopetrol, the state-owned and largest oil company in Colombia, has been allegedly committing - and covering up - environmental and human rights violations.
The report centers around the #IguanaPapers, a database documenting over 300,000 infractions, compiled by a whistleblower who tried to raise the alarm about systematic illegal activity greenlighted by Ecopetrol's higher management.
That whistleblower, along with activists across the country, have faced intimidation and persecution for daring to speak out against the oil industry. Our report highlights their efforts to advocate for a more just and transparent energy future for Colombia. https://eia.org/report/crude-lies/
