Socioeconomic Impacts
Socioeconomic impacts include any processes or social change brought about by interventions in one or more of the following elements: ways of life, economy, culture, community, political system, environment, health and well-being, individual and property rights, and people’s fears and aspirations. Among the positive impacts of our business, we can mention the distribution of added value to different audiences, such as governments, employees, shareholders, the generation of jobs through our direct activity and through the contracting of our supply chain, the availability of energy for the economic and social development of the country and the implementation of a wide portfolio of socio-environmental projects, in addition to other contributions to society. Among the negative impacts associated with our business, we can mention those related to pollution, impacts on traffic, noise, proximity to pipeline installations and industrial units and risk of oil reaching the coast.
Contributions to society In 2021, we had an added value distribution of around BRL 403 billion. Through our activities we distribute value to our employees, federal, state and municipal governments, through the payment of taxes, royalties and special participations, financial institutions, the supply chain and our shareholders. In addition to other contributions to society such as voluntary socio-environmental projects, donations and environmental monitoring and impact mitigation projects, as detailed in the table below:
