Searching for fulfillment and commitment of its workforce, in 2008 Petrobras held campaigns and events in order to invest in accident and disease prevention and to improve the health of employees and communities where the company is present. Petrobras invested R$ 110.7 million in occupational safety and health. It also inaugurated the new headquarters of Petrobras University, in Rio de Janeiro, one of the first eco-sustainable buildings in the city. Following its commitment to ensuring that no cases of child labor occur in its supplier chain, the company transferred R$ 48.5 million to Councils of Rights of Children and Adolescents throughout Brazil. The respect for diversity and non-discrimination earned Petrobras, for the second year running, the Gender Equality Seal, granted by the Special Secretary of Policies for Women, with the seal of UN Development Fund for Women (Unifem) and of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
