, visits and investment in social and environmental programs and projects, which are in alignment with the objectives of our business and contributes to the conservation of the environment and the improvement of the living conditions of the communities where we operate.
 In 2024, our community relationship activities carried out 953 voluntary community interactions, including meetings with community leaders through community committees, as well as visits and events. In addition, we resumed face-to-face activities full time and technology allowed for greater interaction with community members.
 We carry out social risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential detrimental impacts to human rights within communities or within supply chain activities. These assessments are considered in our decision-making process with respect to investment projects, and lead to recommendations such as the review of emergency response plans through the lens of community relationships, monitoring of community incidents and complaints, disclosure of projects and operational activities, and the inclusion of social responsibility clauses in service agreements. In 2024, 23 new risk assessments were required to support projects passing through formal planning procedures.

 We also strengthened our work with communities, civil society organizations, the public sector and universities through the Petrobras Socio-Environmental Program. The program is aligned with our social responsibility policy, which has, as one of its guidelines, the development of enduring socio-environmental initiatives, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda.
 These initiatives aim to promote the development of the different regions improve the quality of life for communities and contribute to the recovery and conservation of nature. This is done by considering the expectations of stakeholders and the contribution to our business, with a priority focus on the areas where we operate.
