2 STRUCTURE Action lines for peace building Territorial peace initiatives Challenges Luis Fernando Rico Pinzón CEO ISAGEN "Is the only purpose of companies to create wealth and profitability? Or are there other purposes that the companies should strive for as fundamental goals of their management? As part of this reflection, it is worth focusing on aspects such as corporate citizenship, opportunities in the regions, accountability for negative impacts and possibility of optimizing positive impacts, with respect for the environment and for human rights. Finally, the contribution to build a peace and reconciliation culture through the reconstruction of the historical memory, as certainly this will translate into valuable learning for the future.

3 Margarita María Díez Vélez Environmental Professional "The armed conflict in Colombia affected ISAGEN at the end of the 90's due to attacks against the country's electrical infrastructure. This encouraged the incorporation of the best international corporate recommendations for peace in our management as well as for support of national and local initiatives. The implementation of an agreement with the FARC implies a significant challenge for companies to develop a coordinated effort with other society players. In its broadest sense, peace is understood as full respect for human rights and the possibility of comprehensive development.

4 We documented our historical memory relative to the armed conflict since 1995 in Eastern Antioquia, which helped us capitalize lessons learned and reflect on our role in society to contribute in peace building MILESTONES We defined our action lines with the respective approach for building territorial peace. Six hundred employees were trained on peace, reconciliation and agreements that were signed in Havana.

5 We have the ethical conviction that dignity of human beings is reached fully only when we effectively exercise the right of peace. Based on this approach, we are coordinating peace initiatives considering the current country's situation upon agreements signed with the FARC and the proposals of the communities in the areas of influence of our operations. We thus create a territorial action framework, with actions intended to build a society that is fully respectful of human rights and sustainable human development opportunities. We identified the security of people and facilities as a corporate risk, described as the social conditions or malicious actions by third parties that threaten the security of ISAGEN s personnel or assets and/or affect business operations. We understand that companies' sustainability is firmly related to the sustainability of regions where they operate and these conditions are basic for the security of all. We have committed to global, regional and local initiatives, including Business for Peace and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the Network of Development and Peace Programs (Redprodepaz), and initiatives of social organizations in our areas of influence, which ratified the role of companies in the construction of safe, sustainable environments through collaborative work with various society actors in a comprehensive manner, coherent with the respect and promotion of the right to peace. The following are the most significant results and challenges for 2016:

6 OUR ACTION LINES FOR PEACE BUILDING One of the most representative achievements in 2016 is the definition of our four action lines related to peace, which were based on guidelines from the government and recommendations from the Fundación Ideas para la Paz (Ideas for Peace Foundation). These are: Political culture and strengthening of democracy: it covers aspects such as leadership in construction of the public, promotion of transparency, strengthening of civil society organizations, and citizen participation. Cultural transformation for peace: it takes reconciliation and new narratives, education for peace, non-violent conflict resolution, and management of knowledge for peace. Humanitarian support: it covers psychosocial assistance and prevention of victimizing events. Entrepreneurship for peace: it seeks to promote the creation and consolidation of productive initiatives aimed at reconciliation, and strengthening community infrastructure for peace. Coherent with these action lines: Systematization of our historical memory of that experienced by the Company between 1995 and 2005 with respect to the armed conflict and management of its consequences. Significant clarity and numerous learnings were derived from this exercise. It should be noted that respect and protection of employees' lives have always prevailed, added to the solidarity commitment with communities in the areas of influence, as part of our corporate responsibility. An additional learning from this experience is the value of civil resistance understood as "collective action that coordinates non-violent actions intended to undermine or at least block somehow the power that is exerted by violence; to achieve a sense of own control that challenges fear; to repair and recreate cultural an identity elements that have been hit or impacted by violence, which is the method used to destroy people's will; and to seek for solutions to the consequences of war and social conflict" (García y Aramburo, 2011).

7 408 We joined domestic and international initiatives to create synergies: Since 2013 we adhered to the United Nations initiative Business for Peace (B4P-), which seeks to catalyze efforts of the private sector to become a transforming force that allows for a safe, sustainable milieu. In coordination with the B4P Colombian Network and in partnership with the Development and Peace Program for Middle Magdalena (PDPMM), we commenced an agreement for the reconstruction of the historical memory in the influence area of the Sogamoso power plant. Since 2015 we have been members of Reconciliación Colombia, an initiative of the civil society for contributing to the reflection and action process towards the recuperation and reconstruction of trust as a pillar for peace building. We supported the development of the First Macroround for reconciliation in Colombia, which gathered 350 projects and nearly 600 attendees. Similarly, we participated in one of its fora intended to disseminate our position relative to the need of attracting the business sector to peace building and promotion of reconciliation activities. We support the Colombia 2020 Project, an initiative led by El Espectador (newspaper) and the European Union, which promotes peace through a pedagogical and reflexive journalism, with great pedagoical impact to generate changes and encourage different settling, and building a different country, with better progress opportunities. For 19 years we have been committed to the strengthening of Development and Peace Regional Programs (PDP). These programs promote the collective construction of identity, justice, coexistence and dignity that make possible local peace processes. There are currently 26 PDPs in the country and, of these, we are contributing members with respect to the Peace and Development Program for Eastern Antioquia Completion of phase one of the agreement between ISAGEN and Porce-Nus in the municipality of Santo Domingo, Antioquia.

8 409 (PRODEPAZ), the Peace and Development Program for Magdalena Centro (PDPMC), and the Peace and Development Corporation of Tolima (TOLIPAZ). In addition, we provide financial support for the Peace and Development Program for Magdalena Medio (PDPMM). Their actions reflect the specific context of their region, thus achieving a diverse range of initiatives that strive to give inhabitants the life they want. We are members of Redprodepaz, the network that groups 26 PDP and more than 26 supporting entities; the system promotes national and international dialogue and cohesion as a peace building social movement. opportunities to influence peace building through citizen participation networks and platforms in eastern Antioquia. As part of the alliance with the Centro de Fe y Culturas, we conducted a cycle of seven encounters or conferences on peace teaching, intended for our workers, suppliers and community stakeholders in areas of influence. The objective was to solve queries about the peace agreements that the government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) were about to sign and to reflect on such transcendental moment for Colombia. We partner with civil society organizations, companies and universities such as Universidad de Medellín, Universidad Católica del Oriente and Universidad de Antioquia, as well as State agencies, for contributing to: Strengthening of three victims' organizations. Prevention of forced recruitment in four municipalities. Empowerment of women in a municipality. Promotion of reconciliation in two municipalities. Citizen training and mobilization in building peace territories in eight municipalities. We strengthened the promotion and training of our stakeholders on human rights and peace building, as follows: We shared through our corporate communication media the contents of our peace building proposal; we provided training opportunities within the framework of the Citizen Training School, with participation of 65 workers, and held a Business Meeting focused on teaching about the Havana agreements, attended by 600 workers. We subscribed partnership with Corporación Viva La Ciudadanía with the aim of preparing and disseminating teaching tools to understand the Havana peace agreements and to identify

12 413 IDEAS WITH ENERGY María Lorena Echeverri Director FUNDECOS Samaná (Caldas) Supporting victims is an initiative that the foundation began five years ago, and for the past two years, ISAGEN has believed in our aim and joined this initiative. We have been able to define specific areas of action centered around the collective memory, working to recover the dignity of victims and relatives, aided by psychosocial support through self-care workshops and legal support, where we have ensured that State entities help these families in terms of legal processes. The goal is to be able to bring this knowledge together for other communities in Antioquia and Tolima.

13 414 IDEAS WITH ENERGY Jaime Betancur Leader Café de la Memoria Puerto Berrío (Antioquia) I lead a project that came about as a result of meetings between victims and perpetrators. We didn't want this to remain in limbo or impunity, but instead we wanted both parties to work together and have the memory of all the loved ones. We now share as a family and we now sit down as a family. We want to show the world that together we can move forward. This initiative has been very positive in my life and my family's life, because it has helped me to get away from everything bad, to start a new life.

14 415 IDEAS WITH ENERGY Edinson Guerra Priest San Juan Bautista Church Chaparral (Tolima) Together with ISAGEN, the parish is working on a project called the Rural and Land Pastoral, which comprises three areas of action: the first is the spiritual aspect, another is aimed at unity among people, the social fabric, at working on the aspect of unity and fraternity, and the other area is the agro-ecological aspect. The communities meet and the aim is for them to make the most of rural areas, planting all kinds of vegetables, plants or trees. It has been possible to bring together many people, to thus help them appreciate their land and have another perspective on life.

15 416 IDEAS WITH ENERGY Luz Mila Sánchez Member Asohermosas Las Hermosas (Tolima) ASOHERMOSAS is the organization that leads the 14 producer associations, the 28 community action boards and the five indigenous councils from the district of Las Hermosas. Results are excellent, and proof of this are the various processes that we have been implementing with great success in terms of development. We also work in support of young people, women and leadership. Women have now earned a very important place in society; we haven't stopped being housewives or women peasants.
