The IRISS Chair arose since 2011 within Cepsa's Corporate Responsibility framework through an interinstitutional agreement with the University Externado de Colombia and the Colombian Association of Petroleum Engineers
Since its inception, there have been various workshops in Bogotá and in regions where Cepsa Colombia carries out its activity, with different themes that generate a greater awareness of individual responsibility
The main objective of this Chair, now framed within Cepsa Foundation, is to foster teaching on topics of interest and impact for the industry and for the environment in general, in an educational and enjoyable way.
These spaces for learning and analysis are aimed at both technicians and professional from the Company as to external groups: representatives of the Municipal Administration, councilmen, office secretaries, members of Communal Action Boards and local entrepreneurs.
The directors of this Chair are Gustavo Yepes, who directs the Department of Management and Social Responsibility in the University Externado de Colombia and Fabiola Villamizar, responsible for Business Development in the Colombian Association of Petroleum Engineers.
