Biodiversidade

The global recognition of the relevance of the topic of biodiversity is reinforced by the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026, which highlights the loss of biodiversity and the collapse of ecosystems as the second largest risk for the next decade, behind only extreme weather events. In this context, we adopt biodiversity requirements aligned with national and international trends meeting the expectations of stakeholders such as peers, investors, communities and third-sector organizations.

Robust biodiversity management is essential for the sustainability of the business, especially because our operations are concentrated in Brazil, where there are many protected areas and endemic and threatened species in different biomes, with relevant interfaces between our facilities and these biodiversity aspects. In 2025, we invested almost one billion reais in projects related to biodiversity and ecosystem services, only within the scope of research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects.

Within the scope of the 2050 Strategic Plan and the 2026-2030 Business Plan, approved by the Board of Directors, we maintained as one of our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) drivers the commitment to “Promote actions of conservation, restoration and biodiversity gains seeking positive net impact in the regions in which we operate”. In this sense, we reaffirm our goal of achieving biodiversity gains by 2030, with a focus on forests and oceans

We ended 2025 reaching the goal of having 100% of our facilities with Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP), encompassing 74 units.

With the commitment to achieve net gain in vegetated areas by 2030, we express our commitment to the reduction and reversal of the loss of native vegetation cover in the biomes in which we operate. More than pursuing the goal of zero net deforestation, we seek to promote the regeneration of forests and other native formations at a level higher than the eventual vegetation suppression necessary for our activities.

Main investments and social and environmental results

In line with two of the 23 goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, established by the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2022, we have committed to expanding our biodiversity conservation efforts by 30%.

To achieve this objective, new social and environmental projects were integrated into the portfolio through a public selection process and, in 2025, started to develop actions aimed at threatened species not yet covered by the Petrobras Social and Environmental Program, as well as consistently expanding the scope and scale of forest recovery and conservation actions. To this were added new investment models in nature-based solutions, such as the match fundings carried out in partnership with the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) in the Floresta Viva and Restaura Amazônia initiatives.

The Petrobras Social and Environmental Program is our main social and environmental investment tool. Among the main accumulated results of the social and environmental initiatives supported in 2025, we highlight: 550 fauna species monitored, studied or protected, of which 114 endangered species; and around 520 flora species in protection, monitoring, research actions or, also, in the planting and seed collection actions, of which 42 endangered. Our actions contributed to the recovery or direct conservation of about 579 thousand hectares of forests and natural areas in all biomes of Brazil, the strengthening of protected areas in about 34 million hectares, 3.8 million seedlings planted, 140 springs protected or recovered and 27 ecological corridors in formation. These initiatives encompassed 164 terrestrial and marine conservation units, in addition to 44 Indigenous Lands and 10 Quilombola Territories, consolidating a and integrated operation in all Brazilian biomes

The figure below shows a map of the number of protected areas covered by our investment social and environmental in force in 2025.

Our biodiversity management is continuously improved and integrated into a georeferenced system that consolidates data and information from all facilities and supports the Annual Biodiversity Report.

In the environmental licensing scope, in 2025, we supported 208 protected areas, through contributions to the ICMBio Environmental Compensation Fund, in the total of BRL 493 million, to meet the conditions provided for in the Law of the National System of Nature Conservation Units (SNUC).

Equatorial Margin

According to the BP 2026-30, we plan to invest about USD 2.5 billion in the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, which represents 37.5% of the exploratory investment foreseen for the next five years, with the expectation of drilling 15 exploratory wells in the region.

Within the social topic, we have developed structured relationship actions in the municipality of Oiapoque (AP), based on continuous dialogue, on respect for human rights and on the appreciation of local socio-cultural specificities. These initiatives include traditional communities – such as quilombolas, extractivists and artisanal fishers – recognized for their own forms of social organization and historical link with their territories.

We are prepared to act in the Equatorial Margin with full responsibility, aligning our operations with the best ESG practices, prioritizing innovation and efficiency and reduction of carbon footprint, in line with the principles of the just energy transition and value generation for local communities.
