Ecopetrol and the Oil Workers Union (USO) Reach Final Agreement in Collective Bargaining Process
Bogota D.C., June 15, 2026
Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC, the “Company”) announces that, on June 13, 2026, as part of the collective bargaining process, it reached a final agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement with the Oil Workers Union (Unión Sindical Obrera – USO), the majority union and holder of the collective bargaining agreement. The new agreement has a term of six years, effective as of January 1, 2026.
In addition, in accordance with applicable law, the Company has entered into 66 final agreements with other participating labor unions.
This outcome reflects the discussions held during the direct negotiation stage and its extension, which took place over the course of more than 990 sessions in an environment grounded in dialogue, mutual respect, active listening, and collaborative engagement.
The agreements reached include improvements in working conditions, as well as enhanced benefits in health and education, the strengthening of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and social investment, among other aspects. These measures are intended to contribute to the well-being of employees and their families, strengthen relationships with key stakeholders, and align with the Company’s principles of reasonableness, efficiency, and cost discipline.
In the coming days, the Company expects to carry out the necessary procedures for the formalization and filing of the agreement with the Ministry of Labor. Subsequently, the Company and the USO negotiating teams intend to conduct joint nationwide sessions to communicate and explain the agreements reached. There can be no assurance as to the timing of such procedures or sessions.
The Company acknowledges and appreciates the work and commitment of all employees and union representatives who contributed their expertise and efforts to the successful completion of this process.
