Human Rights

All Petrobras operations and facilities conform to environmental regulations and adopt the principle of respecting life and citizenship. In order to fulfill this commitment, social, cultural and sports projects are developed for its surrounding communities, to prevent, monitor, assess and control the impacts of its activities in these regions. In 2008, Petrobras allocated approximately R$ 500 million to sponsoring and supporting these actions. This sum also includes the contribution of R$ 48.5 million to the Fund for Childhood and Adolescence (FIA), focusing on guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents. Petrobras is also concerned with the activities of its service providers, establishing contracts with clauses that reject forced labor and eliminate the use of slave or child labor or labor in degrading conditions.
