SMS Culture Survey 2026 with a focus on Safety

A new listening initiative aims to build the future of SMS toward the ambition of Zero Fatalities and Zero Spills

An important channel for listening to all our workers is now live. On March 2, we launched the SMS Culture Survey 2026, with a focus on Safety—essential for understanding the reality of operations and the perceptions of both direct employees and partner company workers.

The survey covers topics aimed at diagnosing the maturity of our operational safety and SMS management. It is a valuable opportunity for you to share your opinions, which will serve as input for the development of action plans toward the ambition of Zero Fatalities and Zero Spills.

We emphasize that the process is strictly anonymous and confidential, conducted by an external consultancy to ensure absolute privacy and freedom of expression. The responses do not evaluate individuals, but rather the collective SMS context.

All workers from partner companies with active service contracts are invited to participate, and it is not necessary to be connected to the Petrobras network to respond.

The link to access the survey was sent via email by the Procurement team, along with a communication kit and support materials, including a 1-minute instructional video.

Partner companies have also received formal communication through their contract manager/inspector. If you have any questions, please contact your inspection team or the inspection support service (SAF-SMS).

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and it is important to correctly indicate the Directorate and Management to which the contract is linked.

For more information about the survey and the involvement of partner companies in this initiative, join the Supplier Live session on March 27, 2026 (or access the recording).

Your contribution helps turn perceptions into practical actions, ensuring the protection of life in all our activities.

Human Factors Guide

The security we seek is built in everyday life, in decisions and behaviors. It is with this focus that we launched the Petrobras Human Factors Guide, a delivery of the People + Protected Project, within the scope of the Commitment to Life Program – Cycle 9 (PCV-9), aligned with the Operational Security Axis.

The Guide was developed by many hands, bringing together representatives and experts from different areas of the Company, as practical support for incorporating the concepts of human factors into our work routines, in an accessible and didactic way applied to the reality of teams.

From this launch onwards, the material becomes Petrobras' main corporate reference on the topic, contributing to more conscious decisions, safer attitudes and an increasingly protected work environment.

Advancing security requires consistency between discourse and practice. This is where choices gain weight: in decision-making under pressure, in the way we deal with risks and in the attention we dedicate to people. This is the direction we seek and that we hope to see reflected in the teams' routines. We invite everyone to read, reflect on the topic and share with their teams.

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.

For more details about our initiatives and commitments, please refer to our 2050 Strategic Plan, the 2025–2029 Business Plan, and the Sustainability Report.

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.
