4.10.2 Our foundation s priorities and main initiatives

Our Canary Islands industrial centre received a request for information from the Canary Islands Government s Directorate General for the Fight against Climate Change and the Environment regarding the work carried out at the La Hondura Maritime Terminal and the removal of concrete blocks that allegedly contained lead. The blocks were analysed at the time without any risk to humans or the marine environment being detected, and were subsequently disposed of by an authorised waste manager.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES3

None of our operations are located inside indigenous community sites, although we have a close relationship with and provide social support for the Wacoyo community, which is included in our Exploration & Production business annual voluntary social investment campaigns in the area of influence of the Caracara asset (Colombia). In 2021, the initiative 'Wacoyo Reservation Productive Projects- Rice Cultivation' was launched to improve farming practices, boost food security and generate surpluses.

The Sinchi Roca native community, though not within the scope of our operations, is included in voluntary social investment campaigns in the area of influence of the Block 131 operation (Peru).

No violation of the rights of indigenous peoples was identified during the year.

3 At Cepsa we classify indigenous communities in accordance with applicable national legislation.
