Environmental Initiatives

Emissions

The Company is committed to responsible environmental management. It monitors Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions at its facilities in Bahia, Sergipe, and Rio Grande do Norte, strictly following the concepts and guidelines of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program and the ISO 14064-1 standard. This effort is part of the Company's ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impacts and promoting sustainable practices that contribute to a greener and more responsible future.

PetroReconcavo is also engaged in the protection of endangered sea turtle species at its Turtle Collection Station, located at its facility in Pirambu (Sergipe), near the Santa Isabel Biological Reserve. This reserve, created to protect endangered species, is one of the largest nesting areas in Brazil, covering 4,100 hectares. The area is officially listed under national environmental protection laws, reinforcing the Company's commitment to biodiversity conservation.

Waste

Most of the waste generated by the Company comes from the activities of operation, maintenance and drilling of new wells. All waste is strictly managed according to the geographical distribution of the production fields, ensuring its traceability. The main sources of impact are in drilling and production activities.

Various preventive measures are carried out, such as recycling and reuse of materials, efficient waste management, and continuous training for our team.

Water and effluent management

Responsible practices are adopted in water management, using sources such as public supply, artesian wells and wastewater treated for reuse.

We prioritize water reuse, especially with reinjection into the reservoir, reducing drinking water consumption. Domestic effluents are treated in appropriate units, following standards of legislation and regulation.

Biodiversity

We operate in the protection of endangered sea turtle species at the Turtle Collection Station, our unit in Pirambu (SE), which is located in the surroundings of the Santa Isabel Biological Reserve.

Created to protect endangered species of sea turtles, our reserve is one of the largest nesting areas in the country, covering 4.1 thousand hectares. The area is duly listed in national environmental protection legislation, reinforcing the commitment to biodiversity conservation.

Social Projects

Viva Sabiá Program – RN

The project develops various innovative solutions for communities in the semi-arid region, including the construction of cisterns for rainwater collection and the installation of Aqualuz, a device that purifies water through solar radiation. Additionally, it implements Bioágua, a social technology for the reuse of domestic gray water (such as from sinks, tanks, and showers) in agriculture, promoting sustainable coexistence with the semi-arid region."

Another focus is on educational and entrepreneurship work, training the local population to market products and boosting income generation.

Results and Social Impact:

Total number of beneficiaries: 569 people, with 240 beneficiaries in 2022, 317 in 2023 and 12 in 2024.

Results and Social Impact:

Total technologies applied: 222 technologies, 220 in homes and 2 in schools. In 2022, 61 technologies were applied, and in 2023, 161 more (30 Bioágua, 81 cisterns and 111 Aqualuz). In 2024, the focus was on maintaining existing technologies and training in income generation.

Results and Social Impact:

Aqualuz: every R$ 1.00 invested generated a social return of R$ 19.59, avoiding costs with health treatments and school dropout due to diseases.
