Ethics and Compliance
At Esenttia, we live integrity with conviction and ownership. More than a rule, it is a daily commitment where we promote the drivers that build it: honesty, respect, transparency, empathy, trust, and justice. We act coherently to strengthen the trust of our stakeholders, under the highest regulatory standards
Documentation
Knowledge, prevention, and reporting for a transparent operation.
Documentamos nuestro compromiso con la integridad y la gestión de riesgos a través del Código de Ética y Conducta, los Manuales y las Políticas que guían el comportamiento de nuestros colaboradores y socios, garantizando que cada decisión esté alineada con nuestros valores corporativos.
The Code defines the expected standards of behavior for the organization and guides the way Esenttia and its strategic partners operate, promoting integrity and business ethics as a key axis to generate trust in society and ensure compliance with commitments to the different stakeholder groups of the organization.
Codes
To ensure the achievement of strategic pillars and compliance with value promises to our stakeholders, we have implemented the following manuals and policies that constitute general guidelines for our Compliance Program.
Esenttia has implemented the Comprehensive Risk Self-Control and Management System for ML/TF/PBWFT (SAGRILAFT), and the Business Ethics and Transparency Program (PTEE) that allow the identification, measurement, evaluation, monitoring, and control of associated risks. The guidelines, procedures, mechanisms, and instruments for the proper management of these risks are developed in the SAGRILAFT Process Manual and the Compliance Program Process Manual, duly approved by the company's board of directors.
Contamos con mecanismos seguros y confidenciales para denunciar cualquier conducta indebida. Además de nuestra línea directa interna de ética, facilitamos el acceso a canales adicionales de entidades gubernamentales, garantizando así que los ciudadanos y las partes interesadas dispongan de diversos espacios para promover la transparencia.
Se trata de un mecanismo confidencial y seguro, que puede ser anónimo si se desea, gestionado por una empresa independiente. Permite a empleados, proveedores y terceros denunciar situaciones que no se ajustan a nuestros valores o solicitar orientación cuando no saben cómo actuar.
Este canal ayuda a proteger lo que es importante para todos y garantiza que nuestras decisiones y operaciones se lleven a cabo siempre de forma ética, transparente y responsable, siguiendo los más altos estándares de integridad y buenas prácticas en todo lo que hacemos.

The SGRI is Esenttia's strategic model for managing the effects of uncertainty on our objectives. Its structure is based on the principles, reference framework, and the Single Management Cycle defined by Law 87 of 1993 and Decree 1083 of 2015 (Art. 2.2.21.4.9), integrating international standards (ISO 31000 and COSO) and the best practices of the Ecopetrol Group.
This system allows identifying, evaluating, and treating risks at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels, ensuring asset protection and business continuity under our Code of Ethics and Conduct. The Ethics and Compliance Management leads the articulation of the SGRI independently, with the supervision of the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, guaranteeing transparency and integral value generation.
At Esenttia, we apply a systematic methodology for the treatment of all organizational risks. This Single Cycle ensures that each event is managed under criteria of technical rigor and transparency, complying with the following stages:
- Planning and Context: Definition of scope and analysis of the internal and external environments to align risks with strategic objectives.
- Integral Identification: Proactive risk detection through information analysis and the participation of process leaders.
- Assessment and Evaluation: Technical analysis of the probability of occurrence and potential impact to prioritize management.
- Strategic Treatment: Execution of actions aimed at reducing, transferring, accepting, or avoiding identified risks.
- Monitoring and Communication: Continuous monitoring of the risk profile, verification of controls, and reporting of alerts to ensure that exposure remains within defined tolerance levels.
The Risk Map is the official monitoring tool that consolidates critical events that could impact the achievement of Esenttia's strategic objectives. This instrument is periodically validated by the Board of Directors and Senior Management, ensuring that the company's management is aligned with the current environment and best governance practices.
The constant updating of this map ensures that Esenttia maintains rigorous control over its risk profile, prioritizing resources and mitigation actions in the areas of greatest relevance for business sustainability.
