UPON IMPLEMENTATION
IN OPERATIONS
Possible impacts on biodiversity as a result of our activities may occur
during the implementation and operation of our generation and Exploration
& Production (E&P) assets. To minimize them, we carry out biodiversity
studies during the environmental licensing processes of the assets, both for
the implementation and operation phases, and the impacts are monitored
in accordance with procedures established by experts and approved by the
appropriate agencies.
The main potential impacts are related to the vegetation suppression, but we
prioritize, whenever possible, already anthropized areas in our new projects. If
this is not feasible, before construction, as required by Brazilian law, we carry
out environmental impact studies and forest inventories to collect data on
the habitat and subsequently obtain the requirement for Authorization for
Vegetation Suppression (ASV). We also adopt all mitigating measures, such
as not using heavy machinery and selective logging of species; in impacted
areas, we carry out environmental compensation through the planting of
native species and/or financial incentives for socio-environmental projects:
in 2020, we maintained a preserved area of 434.8 hectares within the
influence of our assets, of which 308 hectares in Parnaíba, 102 hectares in
Azulão, and 24.8 hectares in Jaguatirica II. We also act to scare fauna away,
but if this is not possible the animals are rescued by a team of specialized
biologists, who reposition the fauna in nearby places or correctly send
them to care centers. Furthermore, with our R2W business model, we cover
shorter transportation routes and, consequently, smaller areas are required,
with reduced need for vegetation suppression and impact on fauna.
Environmental risks may arise from noise, waste disposal, effluent discharge,
and air emissions. All are mitigated through strict Socio-environmental
Control and Monitoring Programs.
Our commitment to environmental impacts on biodiversity has
become even more relevant in 2020, due to our growing presence
in the Amazon.

As a result, during the year we started studies to implement projects that
encourage agro-forestry, forest replacement, and the conservation of green
areas, so that we can make a true socio-environmental contribution to this
very important region.
