| Strong | Petróleo Brasileiro SA provides a high level of transparency around its climate-related lobbying. It names three distinct Brazilian initiatives it has worked on—“Bill 576 of 2021, which provides the use of Union assets for offshore energy generation,” “Bill 1425/2022, which regulates the … permanent storage of CO2,” and the forthcoming “regulation of the carbon market in Brazil”—clearly identifying the subject matter, jurisdiction and stage of each measure. The company also explains how it seeks to influence these proposals, noting that it acts “directly and through associations with the Federal Senate” and works with industry bodies such as IBP, CEBDS and CNI when engaging “the National Congress and other interlocutors of the federal public power.” Finally, it is explicit about the changes it wants: for Bill 576 it aims to “defend … adjustments in the text … aiming at the simplification and objectivity of these criteria” and to ensure offshore wind rules “consider local specificities and the need to ensure investment attractiveness”; for Bill 1425/2022 it seeks references to international CCUS experience and the “possibility of vertical action” across capture, transport and storage; and for the carbon-market law it advocates “clear rules for the transaction of emission permits,” a “national registry system,” limited but certified offset use, and “social and environmental safeguards for local communities.” This detailed disclosure of policies, mechanisms and desired outcomes demonstrates strong transparency, although the company identifies only two distinct lobbying channels (direct engagement and work through associations). | 3 |
