Last year’s launch of the first Sustainable Goods and Services
Portfolio from the Productive Transformation Program marked
an important landmark in the development and promotion of
social and environmental sustainability issues in world-class
sectors. This initiative was recognized for the Global Compact
as a good example to be replicated and it was also highlighted
in the International Environment Fair FIMA. Both honors pleased
us and motivate us to continue working for the sustainability of
the production system in Colombia.
This year’s competition had a significant increase in
participating companies. Last year, 31 companies were
recognized in this selected group and this year we received
more than 60 nominations. To meet this demand, besides
working jointly with the Ministry of Environment, Housing
and Territorial Development, we made an alliance with the
National Center for Cleaner Productions and Environmental
Technologies, who helped us with the verification of documents
to ensure the accuracy of the information, to buyers. Besides
having a wider range of products and sustainable services
from the PTP, this year´s portfolio includes two new chapters
that encourage sustainable public procurement and companies
providing any services related to the environment.
The sustainable public procurement chapter aims to inform
about the products and sustainability criteria that the Ministry
of Environment and Sustainable Development has prioritized,
to other public sector entities, so we can include them in future
tenders and procurement plans to encourage this market into
our country.
Another novelty that we can find in this year`s Portfolio is that
we sealed an alliance with “The Green Pages”, a Mexican
organization who came to Colombia this year to develop
a sustainable business directory. Through this alliance,
products of this portfolio will be highlighted in the Colombian
“Green Pages”, an initiative that has an important marketing
strategy and that will surely result in benefits for the PTP sector
companies. Again congratulations to all who participated in this
initiative and to all our partners, who have made possible the
vision of having a Colombian sustainable products and services
offer.
Sergio Díaz-Granados
Minister of Trade, Industry and Tourism of Colombia
On the other hand, there is chapter that includes a list
of companies that although not necessarily comply with
sustainability criteria’s, they do offer a service or product that
promotes sustainability. For instance, there are examples of
software companies focused on developing applications for
environmental monitoring of an organization or other related
services to the environment.
desarrollar un directorio de empresas sostenibles. Gracias a
esta alianza los productos de este portafolio estarán resaltados
en “Las Páginas Verdes” colombianas, iniciativa que tiene una
estrategia de mercadeo importante y seguro redundará en
beneficio para las empresas de los sectores del PTP.

SUSTAINABILITY
CRITERIA
Environmental and social criteria of the goods or services that appear in this portfolio
are described below, without having a specific order of importance. Each good or
service in this Portfolio met one or more of these attributes. It is important to clarify that
environmental and social aspects required by law are not considered as sustainability
criteria. These criterions mentioned below are implemented in an additional and
voluntary way, looking to add value to the companies’ goods and services.
Besides increasing the supply of sustainable goods and services,
this year we have expanded the number of sustainability
criteria`s in order to make room for more specific criteria in social
responsibility issues. This guarantees that companies of all kinds
can demonstrate sustainability criteria as well. This selection
of criteria has been designed so that big, small and medium
companies can learn about sustainability issues and document
the achievements in terms of social and environmental topics.
8
(
)
USEFUL LIFE
The useful life is the estimated duration that a good or service can have, meeting
correctly the function for which it was created.
A product with a superior lifetime to those produced conventionally, represents a smaller
demand of resources to make new products of the same characteristics. Thus a product
with more durability diminishes the generation of residues or waste. These goods
provide a benefit to consumers because they represent savings in costs due to a longer
lifetime.
9
( )
LIFE CYCLE APPROACH OF GOODS
OR SERVICES 1
( )
RECYCLABILITY OF MATERIALS AND
/ OR USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS
The environmental component within sustainability must ensure the identification of
the main aspects and impacts associated with the cycle of the good or service life ,
ensuring all stages analysis: extraction and processing of raw materials, production,
transportation and distribution, use, maintenance and final disposal.
The recyclability (of a product or package) is identified when different alternatives are
considered in the selection of materials with equivalent or superior properties from the
conventional materials in order to facilitate the recovery and return to the production
cycle at the end of the materials useful life.
A company with a focus on sustainability should –once the final impacts along the life
cycle are known- work to decrease these impacts directly or indirectly through the proper
management along with the suppliers and users. This will guarantee that the main
impacts associated with the good or services are being managed properly. Related
actions may include topics such as: supplier’s management, training and development,
ecodesign, communication and awareness, promotion of good practices, technological
changes, and other actions to ensure a decrease and control of the generated impacts.
In the same way, this approach is also contemplated for those goods that for their
manufacturing process use recycled materials.
Ecodesign is closely related to this approach, since it is aimed at optimizing the
functionality characteristics of the goods or services thus making comparative
advantages, for example, due to its lower weight and size (requiring less raw materials
to manufacture and less waste for final disposal), because they are made with materials
that facilitate its ability to be reused / recycled, or because they use water or energy in a
more efficient way compared with others of the same category.
( )
SUBSTITUTION OF HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES OR MATERIALS2
This criterion refers to products that have traditionally used hazardous substances or
materials and through changes in their design, they have achieved to replace those
hazardous materials or substances. Currently there is a trend that focuses on replacing
substances or other hazardous materials for others that pose a lower risk to health and
the environment. However, we must understand that this trend is not always possible
to adopt because of the technological, functional and designing conditions of some
products, making the option of replacement limited.
One may observe a criterion of sustainability when the functional technological
conditions and the design of goods and services – that traditionally use hazardous
substances or materials – suffer a change by applying a substitution with alternative
substances or materials, because they help to reduce the harmful risk to human health
and the environment.
1. The life cycle approach is a technique to assess the potential environmental impact, the process or activity of a
product, throughout all stages by quantifying the use of resources called “inputs” (such as energy, raw materials,
water, and other inputs), and by quantifying emissions to the environment, called “outputs” (to air, water and soil).
10
2. A hazardous substance is one that because its nature and properties may affect (temporary or permanent)
human health, animal or plant and / or materials. Such features or properties are: corrosivity, reactivity,
explosivity, toxicity, flammability and pathogenicity.
( )
EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE
USE OF THE RESOURCES FOR THE
PRODUCTION OF THE GOODS OR
SERVICES
This criterion relates to the manufacturing stage of the product, in which all the steps
required are taken in order to use the least amount possible and in a sustainable way
the natural resources (water, energy, raw materials) achieving a rational and efficient
use during the production process. Related to this criterion can be for example, the use
of cleaner technologies in industry, or sustainable management of the ecosystems from
which hydro biological resources come from: plants and animal wildlife. .
( )
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
INTERIOR OF THE COMPANY
Companies that for production and delivery their goods or services consider ethical
treatment and fair working conditions for its direct employees and shareholders, and
promote issues such as:
> Quality of formal employment (better social benefits and payment of wages,
exceeding the ones required by law).
> Recruitment of vulnerable population (disabled, ethnic minorities, displaced by
violence, demobilized from armed groups or single mothers).
> Equal opportunities (between different hierarchical levels, gender, race or religion).
> Supports the creation of internal funds for the welfare of the worker.
> Supports special programs to improve the quality of life of its employees and their
families: housing, formal and informal education, culture, recreation and sports,
preparation retirement program and the retirement of its employees.
> Supports the implementation of innovation programs on security issues and
occupational health (in addition to what is required by law).
> Payment of a fair rate to shareholders and employees (bonds) of the company´s
dividends.
11
( )
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE
VALUE CHAIN OF THE COMPANY
Companies that for the production and delivery of their goods or services consider
encouraging the development of their value chain and sharing their best sustainability
practices with their suppliers, outsourced services and customers, promoting aspects
such as:
> Doing fair and inclusive business with their suppliers.
> Responsible provision in the supply chain (sustainable procurement) and supplier
development.
> Recruitment of social economy enterprises, MSMEs and the promotion of linked
strategies.
> To provide customers with quality products at reasonable prices, according to their
needs.
> To encourage the compliance with sustainability and CSR policies to their suppliers,
outsourced services and customers.
> To promote packaging and container return practices to clients, additional to those
provided by law.
( )
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
EXTERIOR OF THE COMPANY
Companies that manage their impacts on areas outside the influence of the production
and delivery of their goods or services, considering communities, the government,
consumers and society at large, promoting issues such as:
(
)
COMMUNICATION FROM SOCIAL
ATTRIBUTES OR ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSOCIATED WITH GOODS OR
SERVICES
Communication of social or environmental attributes of a good or service should be
consistent with the company management in order to ensure sustainability. For this
reason it is essential to involve the different actors in the chain when implementing
communication strategies in order to achieve a successful advertising of those features
that highlight environmental and social management of the good or service. Considering
this, it is extremely important that the attribute that highlights social or environmental
aspects of a good or service in the market is accurate and not misleading, and ensuring
accurate backing when being verified by consumer or the different actors involved in the
chain to protect their rights.
( )
ENVIRONMENTAL OR SOCIAL
SCHEMES, PROGRAMS OR AWARDS
IMPLEMENTED OR RECEIVED
Companies who postulate their products or services may demonstrate implementation
of models or sustainability-oriented programs (with or without certification) as well as
other merits received from third parties such as verifications, mentions, endorsements or
awards with a clear scope of sustainability.
Note: Projects involving natural resource investments may be presented themselves
as own models or programs focused on the conservation and proper management of
natural resources.
> To contribute to the local economy through the generation of employment.
> Carry out social investment programs aimed at community development and the
generation of employment and income, poverty reduction, progress and sustainable
development of the country.
> Supporting foundations or organizations that encourage the implementation of
social inclusion programs, environmental protection or inclusive business generation.
> To have and abide their transparency and ethics policy with their interest groups
(Government, communities, NGOs).
> To promote awareness programs for the consumers to be responsible and
sustainable.
> To promote to clients packaging and container return practices, additional to those
provided by law.

Abarco Category
[Cariniana pyrimorfis]
Abarco is classified as a critically endangered (CR)
species. It faces a high risk of becoming extinct in wild
state by the overexploitation of its wood, which presents
excellent hardness (even outdoors), and multiple
applications given its high resistance.
This tree can reach more than 2 meters of diameter and
up to 40 meters of height.
With this species we identify those products and services that
have developed or applied for their production or provision both
environmental and social sustainability aspects.
Cedar Category
[Cedrela odorata]
Cedar is catalogued as an endangered species [EN].
It faces a high risk of becoming extinct in wild state.
Its wood has been highly valued by its aroma and
its reddish color, which is very resistant. That is why it
has been used in an extensive range of products: for
laminates, plywood, carpentry and fine cabinet making.
This tree presents a broad and rounded top and reaches
from 10 to 20 meters of height and a diameter of 60 cm
to 2 m.
SUSTAINABILITY
CATEGORIES
The following categories were defined, in association with the Ministry of the
Environment and Sustainable Development in order to classify the goods and services
of this Portfolio. This exercise highlights the compliance with one or several criteria in the
social and environmental aspects (or both), according to the information submitted by
the participant companies.
The names of these three categories were established in order to raise awareness on
three timber species in Colombia that are in different degrees of threat, according to the
Red Book of Colombian Species – Threatened Timber species2 - and red lists established
by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) employed for the past 30 years to draw
attention on species that are in danger of extinction worldwide.

2 15 February 2006 version
With this species we identify those products and services
that have developed or applied for its production or provision
environmental sustainability aspects
Oak Category
[Quercus humboldtii]
Oak is classified as a vulnerable Species (VU). It is facing
a high risk of becoming extinct in wild state. It is almost
an exclusive species of Colombia that is distributed
throughout the mountainous regions. Its wood has been
used in construction, cabinet making and, even in the
production of wood charcoal.
This species reaches heights of up to 25 meters with a
width of up to 1 meter.
With this species we identify those products or services that have
developed or applied during their production or provision, social
sustainability aspects.
15
MANUFACTURING
The PTP manufacturing sectors are becoming more and more conscious about their
social and environmental impacts. For this reason, this chapter has been strengthened
by a greater participation of fashion system companies and the graphic communications
industry. This year we have examples of companies that show a commitment to
vulnerable communities and the use of raw materials that generate less environmental
impact.
16
The sectors of cosmetics and toiletries, auto parts and vehicles also have examples of
sustainability leadership. We also welcome the metalworking, steel and shipyard sectors
who also participated in this initiative.

Enka de Colombia SA produces and sells polymer and polyester fibers, nylon and
industrial raw materials in different ways. Enka has become the leading PET recycling
company in Colombia, processing millions of bottles that are transformed into products
with high added value, that otherwise if not recycled it would take over 100 years to
decompose, and finally in that way producing EKO® brand fibers.
These EKO® low titer fibers (1.7 dtex) are used for the production of 100% polyester yarn
or cotton blend. EKO® Fibers with older titles are used in non-woven fabrics and fillings.
Environmental Benefits:
- The recycled resin uses less energy than the process for manufacturing the same
product with virgin raw materials.
- Savings in energy consumption is equivalent to the consumption of a population close
to 100,000 inhabitants.
- CO2 emissions, including raw material and transportation, were reduced
substantially when compared with virgin resin production.
Social benefits:
- More than 3,100 people benefited, from collecting bottles to fiber manufacturing,
favoring to the collection centers to the most vulnerable (single mothers, displaced and
demobilized).
- Income over $ 12,800 million pesos annually for the recycling industry.
www.fabricato.com
Fabricato is a textile Company that has implemented an automated dyeing process
with the latest technology for the mixed fiber or denim that improves the process
efficiency and the fiber quality, reducing the chemical consumption, while minimizing the
environmental impact and the production costs.
The project consisted in the implementation of a new technology where the indigo dye
powder was replaced by pre-reduced liquid hydrogen (not contaminant), meaning for
the production system a decrease in the use of sodium hydrosulfite and caustic soda
required for the reduction of the dye that occurs when the dye permeates the fiber.
In this way, the process achieves a significant reduction in the generation of discharges
produced by yarn dyeing machines, in the generation of particulate material (dust)
and in its transport, storage and handling of chemicals and harmful products. Also, the
removal of pallets, packaging cardboard and plastics in wich came the indigo powder
was achieved because the pre-reduced comes directly from the factory in iso-tanks and
eliminates the amount of dye and auxiliary chemicals that were not absorbed by the
fiber in the dyeing process and were therefore discarded in the waste when emptying
the machine.

GM Colmotores assembles and sells high-quality vehicles with a high commitment to
sustainability and efficiency of the different processes within the company. Its factory
environmental performance is characterized by the reduction in energy and water
consumption, use and recovery of waste generated in the vehicle manufacturing
process and reducing solid waste sent to landfill. Because of the nature of the business,
the company is aware that in order to manufacture or sell a vehicle, the company has
to meet the needs of society: to move freely, to access, to communicate, trade and
establish relationships. The company has identified the challenges associated with
mobility, and therefore is committed to the development of education programs in the
responsible use of vehicles, with strategies such as the Sustainable Mobility Business
Plans (PEMS), which aim to create a network of companies focused on the development
of sustainable alternatives for the mobility of Bogotá, and campaigns like Chevrolet
Econductor, an educational initiative designed to teach simple practices to save fuel,
reduce CO2 emissions and improve urban mobility.
Through the Chevrolet Foundation, the company has launched employability strategies
for vulnerable populations thanks to the Partnership with Pacto Motor, which offers
technical training in mechanics and bodywork to youth communities in vulnerable
situations, in order to increase their chances of employment.
Believing in their competitiveness, GM Colomotores has begun a industrial
transformation plan with an investment of 380 billion pesos that will let pass from
assembling to manufacture vehicles, which will make a significant contribution to the
sustainability of the business and to the automotive industry in Colombia.

Biopanel is a manufacturer company of composite parts that has created value for
organic products, minerals and synthetics of several local industries.
The company currently produces for the automotive industry the Biopanel –
Transportation, a compound applied in mass and colective transit systems with excellent
mechanical properties, including some natural origin materials and achieving a good
cost / benefit ratio, considering that installing light structures in vehicles can contribute to
lower fuel consumption.
The structure consists in two layers of fiberglass and resin on manually drawn processes
with pressure and atmosphere temperature, which requires no water consumption. As
a stiffening material that joins both sides, the company uses a honey-comb (comb bee)
made from cellulose fibers impregnated with resin. This binding gives a fine structure,
reliability and overall weight reduction for the vehicle. All this process reflects in the
reduction of fuel consumption contributing for a more efficient and sustainable means of
transportation.
As organic component to complete enforcement points, connecting shims between
panels and filler material, coffee husk is added, which is easily processed and locally
achieved thanks to thresher companies that put together rural families.

Excelec has developed Iluplus ®, a smart photocell that measures power consumption,
with communications and power reduction at the hours that is not required the total
intensity of public lamps or lighting fixtures. Iluplus reports in real time the luminaries
and its components failures without having to visit every photocell in order to find the
defective fixtures. It also measures the consumption of power of each light, paying the
exact power consumed instead of paying an inaccurate consumption of electricity.
GERS provides consultancy services in electrical system studies, designs and
engineering, power quality and energy efficiency, audit and consulting, testing and
commissioning of electrical projects, services in IEC61850, smart grids, equipment
supply, specialized courses and software. In addition to these services, in alliance
with partner companies, the company offers solutions for EPC projects (Engineering,
Procurement and Construction), in both electrical substations and industrial projects.
Additionally, Iluplus allows the luminaries to lower the power at the times when they
are not required to operate at full power. Some of the environmental benefits obtained
with Iluplus are related to the rational use of energy, savings in searching luminaries
failures, costs decreasing fuel consumption, time reduction between the fault and
repair, monitoring of environmental and network conditions, and lower maintenance
costs. Additionally this equipment is made of recyclable materials and lead-free solders
(complying with the European Directive ROHS) in Excelec International production plant,
located in the permanent free trade zone of Rionegro, Antioquia.
GERS provides its services in accordance with its policy of health, safety and
environment, which is manifested in the fulfillment of the law applicable to their projects,
environmental impact mitigation, and beneficial relationship with its stakeholders,
caring for the welfare of its workers. The company also has management programs in
occupational health and environment for contractors’ hydrocarbons (RUC). The execution
of these programs is audited annually by the Colombian Safety Council.
The use of Iluplus gives the users total satisfaction not only when they perceive
their positive environmental impact, but also the economic impact and the social
responsibility of the service manager when it checks that public lighting´s bill are fair.

With over 30 years of experience, Rymel designs, produces and markets
transformation and measurements products for the electricity sector. Three of its
products stand out by extending the useful life of transformers and minimizing
environmental impacts:
WILDLIFE PROTECTORS: devices used to protect energized parts of the terminal insulators
in the different equipment installed in the power distribution system. The fixture is used
to prevent animals from causing equipment failures or for them to get killed by contact
with the energized parts. This extends the lifetime of the equipment and protects wildlife
that is present in the installation site.
DRY TYPE TRANSFORMERS: they do not require refrigerants because it cools down with
air. This reduces the negative environmental impacts associated with dielectric oil
contaminants because of its low biodegradability. At the end of its lifetime cycle the most
of the elements of such transformers can be recycled and a lower percentage goes to a
final disposal, generating a less environmental impact.
DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS WITH VEGETABLE OIL: The oil used comes from vegetable
origin, which is biodegradable.
Rymel hires disabled people, single mothers, local staff and family members of the
internal staff. It also offers programs such as housing and education loans. Also donates
wastes to companies formed by single mothers.

SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC
PROCUREMENTS
(CPS- COMPRAS PUBLICAS SOSTENIBLES)
L ib erta
y O rd e n
The Sustainable Public Procurements (CPS) is defined as “... the process by which public
organizations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that
the process achieves a high performance based on an analysis of the entire life cycle,
resulting in benefits not only for the organization but also to society and the economy,
whilst minimizing the damage to the environment.1 “
The CPS represent a great opportunity to drive markets towards sustainability and
innovation, considering that public spending represents a significant percentage of the
gross domestic product of Colombia2 . Through CPS, governments and environmental
authorities in particular can lead by example, transforming markets, maintain austerity
in public spending, conserve natural resources and creating new jobs (UNEP, 2009).
The National Policy on Sustainable Production and Consumption (PyCS) establishes in
its strategies to promote Sustainable Procurement of goods and services seeking to
have an impact on purchasing decisions of producers and consumers. In this policy it
has been established that the state should buy to the 2014 at least 10% of goods and
services taking into account prioritized sustainability criteria’s, and a 30% for 2019.
1 Source: Procuring the Future - the report of the UK Sustainable Procurement Task Force (June 2006). The life
cycle approach in the CPS refers to the process of purchasing a public entity should consider the environmental,
social and economic consequences of: design, use of non-renewable materials, manufacturing and production
methods, logistics, service delivery, use, operation, maintenance, reuse, recycling options, disposal and the
supplier´s ability to address these consequences throughout the supply chain.
2. Public procurement represents about 15% of GDP in OECD countries and up to 30% of GDP in developing
80
countries (http://www.unpcdc.org/media/390100/spp_brief_es_2012-02-07.pdf)
81
Among the most recent activities related to the national strategy of CPS, the Ministry
of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS- Ministerio de Ambiente y
Desarrollo Sostenible) with support from the National Centre for Cleaner Production and
Environmental Technologies (CNPMLTA- Centro Nacional de Produccion más Limpia y
Tecnologías Ambientales) designed in 2012 a conceptual and methodological guide for
the implementation of the CPS, which includes environmental and social criteria for the
acquisition of goods and prioritized services.
These 16 goods and services were prioritized based on previous studies by the MADS
in the pilot project “Capacity Building for Sustainable Public Procurement” in Colombia3
(2010), and from there, it reprioritized other sectors taking into account the following
criteria:
VARIABLES OF PRIORITIZATION
Availability of information on the sector.
Economic relevance (annual sales and contributions to the country’s GDP).
If it belongs to the sectors of PTP.
If it belongs to one of the five economic locomotives of the National Development Plan
2010 to 2014
The social and environmental impact that the sector generates.
NOTE
There are environmental and social cross-sectional criteria, which in effect apply to any
sector that may be required by public entities to meet CPS goals.
The criteria of the CPS will be requested by public entities under the technical
Product specifications to acquire, the priority that the entity gives to certain social or
environmental aspects by internal command and the ability of response that sectors
have to comply with these requirements. In other words, it is up to public authorities to
decide which sustainability criteria require their suppliers and over what period of time
they will begin to request them.
The MADS will continue to define environmental and social criteria for more goods and
services through technical datasheets, and expanding (or becoming more strict) the
ones presented in this first implementation stage of the strategy. In the same way, public
bodies may define their own criteria for products they want to purchase and are not yet
defined by the technical datasheets of the MADS CPS.
It’s potential to participate in Green Markets.

What is the relationship between the national CPS strategy and
the PTP´s Sustainable Goods and Services Portfolio?
This portfolio will show to the general public and State buyers, to both national and
regional order, that the goods and services of the Productive Transformation Program
that have sustainability features and the sustainability criteria’s could be included
in tenders and calls to meet the goals of CPS in Colombia. It also seeks to give the
private sector the market opportunities that the established demand represents in the
government procurement goals and motivate this sector to transform its offer.
Sustainability criteria in the sustainable public procurements and
its relation to the portfolio´s criteria
There is a close relationship between the criteria defined for the public summon of
the PTP´s sustainable goods and services´ Portfolio 2013 and the datasheets defined
in the national strategy CPS4 . Actually, all the criteria are related, but those in the
technical datasheets of the national strategy for CPS have higher technical specifications
(according to the sector). Here are the environmental and social criteria of both Initiatives
and their relationship:

guide Sustainable Public Procurement”, produced by the MADS in agreement with the CNPMLTA and which will be
available to the public soon
