The biggest Oil Brazilian Company “Petrobras” is a multinational recognized for its performing in exploration and production; downstream; trade, transportation and petrochemicals; derivative distribution; natural gas; biofuels, and electric energy. In the same way, Petrobras is also directed to propel development and ensure the future of the society showing that is possible to produce oil without forgetting the environment and acting in obedience to competency, ethics and respect for diversity.
Socio-environmental responsibility is a keyword that belongs to Petrobras´mission and vision caring about a sustainable future of the planet and next generations. It is worried to preserve natural resources and construct socio-environmental consciousness in the community. To accomplish these objectives the Organization uses a rational quantity of water in its operations, generates the least residues and gas emissions trying always to reduce the environmental impact and to reinforce their commitment.
Since 2003 Petrobras has been developing and supporting some environmental projects and programs investing high amounts of money. In 2008 the investments surpassed the 557 millions of Brazilian Real not only in environmental projects but also in the social, cultural and sporting ambits.

This activities and projects should be taken as clear models to follow up by all companies around the world. It is necessary that the society as a whole adopt a solidarity attitude in order to protect the place we live in and assure at the same time a proper space for our children.
I think that this kind of actions should be replicated in more and more companies everytime, specially in those who represent a whole country or region by themselves, in order to promote this kind of behaviors in personal levels.

Its "focus of action is mainly concentrated on generating employment, supporting social and sports with emphasis on greater engagement with the communities surrounding our plants. Also, we support education and culture."
