Sustainability

In the relationship with suppliers, partners and other members of the supply chain, Petrobras considers encourages and values the adoption of best practices in HSE and sustainability in the supply of goods and services.

Through this channel, we invite our suppliers to know and to share our sustainability strategy, which is based on the strong commitment of accelerating the decarbonization of our operations and to always act ethically and transparently, with safe operations respecting the people and the environment.

In 2024, Petrobras' Board of Directors (BoD) approved, within the scope of the 2025–2029 Business Plan, our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) positioning, highlighting four key commitments:

Reducing the Carbon Footprint
Ambitions: (i) Net Zero by 2050; (ii) Near Zero Methane by 2030; (iii) Net neutral growth by 2030 (not exceeding the 2022 level, consolidating a 40% reduction since 2015).

Protecting the Environment
Ambition: Zero leakage.

Caring for People
Ambition: Zero fatalities.

Acting with Integrity
Ambition: To be a benchmark in ethics, integrity, and transparency.

Our commitment to life is a non-negotiable value, and our well-established safety culture continues to be reinforced every day to strengthen operational and personal safety. Therefore, we have also maintained the ambition of zero fatalities and zero leakage in our plan.

Regarding the ESG Driver “Acting with Integrity,” the following targets related to the commitment “Promote the adoption of ESG practices among our stakeholders” were defined in our 2025–2029 Business Plan:

Assess, in 100% of contracts in strategic categories, the expansion of ESG requirements by 2028;
Ensure that 70% of relevant suppliers have their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory published by 2028;
Train 100% of relevant suppliers in Integrity and/or Privacy by 2030;
Implement human rights due diligence for 100% of our relevant suppliers by 2030.

For each positioning, we maintain a set of relevant drivers that support and guide our actions, projects, programs, and commitments.

Petrobras Excellence Programs

With the aim of contributing to our strategic goal of zero fatalities and the prevention of work and environmental accidents in our operations, we encourage service provider companies to invest in improving operational performance. Accordingly, we have developed several excellence programs that regularly assess compliance with best practices and standards of Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) as well as Legal Requirements, such as:

PEOTRAM - Operational Excellence Program for Air and Maritime Transportation - This is the annual audit system for Petrobras' air and maritime transportation operations, aimed at achieving operational excellence in the provision of helicopter and specialized maritime support vessel services. This program is used as an evaluation criterion in the company's contracting processes, and since 2021, the system has been adapted to consider companies' greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) requirements.
PEO-SONDAS - Operational Excellence Program for Maritime Rigs - This program aims to enhance operational and process safety through the management of higher-quality operations among contracted maritime drilling companies, emphasizing practices of continuous improvement and management excellence. To achieve these goals, the program incorporates third-party audits at the contractors' onshore and offshore units to assess their management system across Human Resources, Asset Management, Integration, QHSE, Operations, and Supplier Management.
PEOTER - Program for Excellence in Onshore Operations - This program aims to develop suppliers of onshore operations services in matters of Operational Excellence and Safety, standardizing and enhancing management practices and onshore operations, considering their characteristics and associated risks, the program contributes to strengthening a culture of accident prevention, environmental preservation, and health promotion.

The scoring of companies in these excellence programs is already used as a competitive advantage in vessel procurement bids, ensuring that companies with better results and distinct safety standards are contracted, thereby recognizing suppliers with superior performance.

Likewise, competitive advantages are granted to maritime vessels and rigs with lower fuel consumption. It is important to emphasize that fuel economy directly correlates with the reduction of CO2 emissions, aligning with Petrobras' decarbonization objectives and goals.
