PETROPERÚ fulfills commitments with native communities

In view of journalistic versions of PETROPERÚ's commitments to Amazonian native organizations, the Company addresses the public opinion to report the following:

1. PETROPERÚ has always considered the native Amazonian communities as its strategic partners in the operation of the North Peruvian Pipeline (ONP), as it will be in its future oil exploitation operations in the Peruvian jungle. In this sense, our Company has a Social Management Policy and Plan that aims to establish mechanisms that directly benefit the communities.
2. For this reason, PETROPERÚ will comply with the commitments assumed by the Company on March 3, 2022, the date on which it signed two inter-institutional cooperation agreements (framework and specific) with the Awajún of the Apaga River Native Federation (FENARA) and the Organization of Indigenous and Peasant Peoples of Alto Marañón (ORPICAM).
3. The investment that these commitments demand from PETROPERÚ will be destined to finance the formulation and execution of technical files for the construction of 9 works, 7 community premises in the communities of Borja, Nueva Alegría, Capernaum, Pachacútec, Belén, Atahualpa and Nueva Soledad; as well as for the construction of 2 administrative offices, for FENARA and ORPICAM.
4. This investment also includes the implementation, over a period of 6 months, of a comprehensive program to improve leadership skills for the development of governance, coexistence and social welfare conditions in the indigenous communities of the Manseriche district, Datem del Marañón province, in the Loreto region.
5. These commitments will be implemented in accordance with the processes, procedures and internal forms established in the Company as expressly agreed in the Agreements, and will be carried out according to an agreed schedule taking into account the conditions of each place.
6. The operation of the ONP, National Critical Asset, is strategic for the oil activity in the Amazon and basic support for private investments and operations, which benefit thousands of people, generating jobs directly and indirectly, as well as higher income from oil canon.
7. For PETROPERÚ it is of utmost importance to maintain respectful and consensual relations, both with the native communities and with the organizations that support their development, who, together with PETROPERÚ and the Peruvian State, share the great challenge of contributing to social peace, their well-being and their integral development.
