In this sense, the adhesion to Global Compact fulfills the principles rela-
ted to labor standards, especially regarding the protection of employees in
case of forced or under duress labor, and the protection against any type
of discrimination.
Additionally, the management in this area is regulated in Colombia by De-
cree 1072 of 2015, Regulatory Decree of the Labor Sector, Chapter 6. In the
case of high-risk activities not regulated in the country, the Company has
put into effect international standards for specific matters such as work in
OCCUPATIONAL confined spaces and load hoisting, in order to control these activities which
may generate potential accidents.

LIAISING WITH INSTITUTIONS

As part of liaising with key institutions, a Key Audience Mapping was defined in 2016 contemplating
the development of priority liaising strategies with groups of interest relevant to the Companys pro-
cesses and interest; whereby the social fabric network is intended to be also expanded to establish
strategic alliances also favorable to certain initiatives of these groups.

social inclusion programs, citizen cohabitation and peace. Conducted
workshops focused on: health, environment and human rights.

General Matters
From its incorporation, Transportadora de Gas Internacional
S.A. ESP (hereinafter TGI S.A. ESP) has implemented a set of
elements and practices, both formal and informal, which rule
the relationship between the administrators and all those who
invest resources in the Company, mainly shareholders, credi-
tors, customers and suppliers. Good practices on Corporate Go-
vernance reasonably guarantee a better use of the Companys
resources, while contributing to a higher level of accounting
transparency and generate more confidence with the entities
involved.

TGI S.A. ESP performed, in 2016, a re-institutionalization of the

14
Corporate Governance, which is understood as the means provi-
ding the companies with the necessary tools for an adequate ad-
ministration and control, within the framework of a dynamic and
changing process. Likewise, it is evident that supervision on the
quality of the compliance with the practices implemented poses a
challenge to the company, supervisors and investors in the years
to come.
Within the framework of the re-institutionalization of the Corpo-
rate Governance process the Companys By-Laws were amended
and regulations of the Board of Directors, its Committees and the
Meeting of Shareholders were updated, with a view to adjusting
the company to the new and best practices on organization and
corporate matters.
