Our scenarios indicate that there will be persistent global demand for oil in the coming decades — albeit in decreasing volumes. Thus, considering the climate changes in our decisions is an ethical requirement, included in our safety,
environment and health, and
social responsibility policies.
In this sense, it is our priority to enable new energy solutions and decarbonization, seeking a just energy transition, decreasing emissions, and promoting inclusion and social development. These are some of our actions:
- We monitor absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the intensity of emissions from our activities and the value chain of our products.
- We have had teams dedicated to emissions, the environment and climate change for over 20 years and all assets under operational control are inventoried.
- We have a proprietary emissions management system with around 7 thousand sources entered in the system, SIGEA® (Petrobras Atmospheric Emissions Management System), which contains data modules including our emissions inventory.
- Our inventory has been published voluntarily since 2002 and verified by a third party annually, and represents our pioneering spirit in the management of greenhouse gases (GHG).
- We are also founding members of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program and publish our inventory in its Public Emissions Registry — we are currently classified with a Gold Seal, a standard of excellence in data quality and availability.
We reduced our absolute operational greenhouse gas emissions by 40% and
methane emissions in the upstream by 69%, between 2015 and 2024. And we continue on the path towards achieving operational emissions neutrality by 2050.
