In situations where a supplier engages in illicit acts or acts that cause or have the potential to cause harm to Petrobras, the Commission for Analysis of Sanctions Application (CASA) should be nominated. The CASA (local acronym is CAASE), after granting the supplier its right to a full defense, may recommend to the competent authorities the application of consequences.
One of the measures adopted in the consequences system is the blocking of suppliers through administrative sanctions, in accordance with Article 83 of Law 13.303/2016. These suppliers are prohibited from participating in new bidding processes and signing new contracts with Petrobras.
The same law establishes in Article 37, § 2, that companies that are administratively sanctioned may demonstrate the overcoming of the reasons that led to the imposed restriction against them, aiming for exclusion from the register of sanctioned companies (self cleaning).
To do so, it is necessary to present all the measures already implemented with the intention of demonstrating such overcoming. In this process, various tools are adopted to verify the effectiveness of the actions reported by the supplier, such as documentary analysis of evidence, evaluation within the scope of other existing contracts with Petrobras, and/or third-party auditing.
