Cerrejón's Pledge to Long-Term Ecosystem Sustainability and Local Biodiversity
From the very outset of its operations, Cerrejón has undertaken a pioneering program that sets it apart in Colombia. This program focuses on the rehabilitation of lands previously subjected to open-pit mining, coupled with the reforestation of these areas with native species from the tropical dry forest. Since 1990, Cerrejón has rehabilitated over 5,000 hectares of land previously affected by open-pit mining, achieving almost 90% rehabilitation of mining-affected areas.
Cerrejon responds to a report from United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment.

Cerrejón responds to a report from the NGO colectivo de abogados Jose Alvear Restrepo
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.
