Response by Cerrejón Coal

...Cerrejón appreciates the opportunity to express our view and comments on the report... Cerrejón is respectful of the different positions around the use of coal as an energy resource but expects that the analysis of the social, labour and environmental performance of producing companies is done based on objective information and criteria…The Cerrejón company has operated in La Guajira (Colombia) since the 1980s, respecting Colombian legislation and complying with standards in force at the time. Cerrejón has complied with requirements for the payment of taxes and royalties (contributing almost US6 billion only since 2002). We contribute to boosting the local and national economies by providing over 13,000 decent jobs, local contracting in the amount of over US 50 million in 2014, preventing and mitigating environmental impacts, being committed to the welfare of our neighbouring communities, and promoting the sustainable development of the department of La Guajira. 1. Concerning the accusations of displacement and resettlements…The figure of 70,000 indigenous Wayuu being displaced by mining activity does not have any basis in reality…All land purchases from indigenous and non-indigenous peoples required at the start of the operation were undertaken following legislation and standards in force at the time. Recent land acquisitions and processes requiring the relocation of indigenous and non-indigenous settlements have been carried out in accordance with the social and environmental Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
