The analysis of the integrity risks to which we may be exposed when dealing with third parties are carried out through the application of the Integrity Due Diligence (DDI). It is one of the elements of our corporate integrity program, the
Petrobras Program for the Prevention of Corruption.
The DDI subsidizes the analysis of the third-party integrity criterion, the result of which is expressed by the assignment of the Degree of Integrity Risk (GRI). It is represented by flags that indicate the GRI:
- Green flag: Low GRI;
- Yellow flag: Medium GRI;
- Red flag: High GRI
If the bidders do not have an assigned GRI to them, they must, in the qualification phase, complete the
Integrity Due Diligence questionnaire electronically. The questionnaire should be submitted with the supporting documentation within the deadline for submitting the qualification documentation. Answering the DDI questionnaire and submitting the necessary documentation for evaluation will be conditions for the bidder’s qualification.
In cases where the DDI is completed and a high GRI is assigned in the course of the bidding process, we may disqualify the bidder. If we identify new facts or material facts regarding the supplier’s integrity risk, we may change the counterpart's GRI, which will be considered in the current bidding process.
As described in Art. 4, § 3 of the RLCP, companies with a high GRI will not be able to participate in hiring procedures, except in the following exceptional cases:
- I - Inapplicability of the Bidding Procedure, provided for in Art. 28, § 3 of Act No. 13,303/2016;
- II - Exemption of Bidding, in the hypotheses described in Art. 29, V, VIII, X, XI, XIII, XV, XVI, XVII, and XVIII of Act No. 13,303/2016;
- III - Incompatibility of competition, duly demonstrated, in accordance with the Law and Regulation;
- IV - Bidding for the disposal of assets.
The GRI is available for reference in the Evaluation Results and the Monitoring Panel, in the Petronect environment. To have access, you must be logged in.
