Suppliers of services to Petrobras will have their carbon emissions mapped after the state-owned company closes a partnership with the CDP body to reduce the maximum possible environmental impacts within the resource supply chain
A partnership between Petrobras and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) was closed during the last few months and until this Saturday, (21/05), it continues at full steam as a way to guarantee more sustainability within the company's operations. company. The contract signed allows CDP to map the carbon emissions of service providers to the state-owned company so that there is greater control over the environmental impacts throughout the commercialization chain with these companies.
After a partnership with Petrobras, the CDP agency will carry out the mapping of carbon emissions in the services of the Brazilian state-owned suppliers in the coming months
CDP is an international non-profit organization that seeks more sustainability within global trade and maps emissions of gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect, such as carbon, in companies around the world. Now, the agency will be responsible for a large number of mapping services provided by Petrobras, after the state-owned company closes a partnership to carry out the sustainability project over the next few months.
Thus, the state-owned company's main objective is to encourage Petrobras' suppliers to measure and report emissions, in the context of the transition to a low-carbon economy, which is the current scenario of the international market. Thus, all CDP mapping in relation to carbon emissions will be based on Scope 3, that is, that which results from the production of goods and services necessary for a company's activities and operations, aiming to make the service supply chain more sustainable.
The entire carbon emissions mapping project was started during the month of April, right after the signing of the contract between the companies, and will continue for the next few months. As a result, CDP began contacting more than 500 Petrobras service providers to answer a questionnaire on mapping and monitoring emissions. And, although participation in mapping carbon emissions is voluntary, companies are invested in ensuring a little more sustainability in these operations.
Adherence to the carbon emissions mapping program in the provision of services will be essential for the state-owned company's sustainability initiative
All suppliers that were contacted for their contribution within Petrobras' sustainability project in partnership with CDP are essential for the company's chain of services. This is because the state-owned company stated that the selection of participating companies was defined based on criteria of financial representation and the critical function for the company's operations. Therefore, it is extremely important for the mapping of carbon emissions that companies are open to the study,
Therefore, the executive manager of Supplies, Goods and Services at Petrobras, Marina Quindere, highlights the importance of joining the program as a way of contributing to Petrobras' sustainability plan and states: "We believe that joining this CDP program reinforces Petrobras' commitment to reducing carbon emissions, in addition to producing a mobilizing effect in the company's value chain with hundreds of the company's suppliers".
This entire initiative is part of Petrobras' Carbon Neutral Program, which seeks to identify the development of solutions for the company's decarbonization at the lowest cost and ensure a greater environmental commitment in operations. Now, the state-owned company will continue with the CDP program to guarantee all the necessary studies and verify the solutions to the problems.
