July 14, 2023. On November 2022, the NGO Colectivo de Abogados José Alvear Restrepo (CAJAR) published the report “When impunity becomes landscape: 12 examples of corporate impunity of coal multinationals in La Guajira”, seeking to call “on
the national government to comply with the constitutional mandate to defend life and human rights above profits, and to be consistent with its commitment to decarbonization and energy transition that respects human and nature rights”.

With the objective of contributing to inform the public and contextualizing the complex issues relating to the sustainable development of La Guajira, we would like to provide clarity on some of the inaccuracies and accusations found in the report.

Cerrejón has signed new consultation agreements with 21 indigenous communities, located in the municipalities of Manaure, Uribia, and Maicao, in compliance with the provisions of Constitutional Court ruling T-704.

Cerrejón was once again named, for the ninth consecutive year, as the mining company with the best reputation in the country according to the Brújula Minera ranking.

For six days, Cerrejón's operations have been affected by several illegal blockades that border the operation. These blockades, while peaceful, are preventing access to the operations.
