Board Internal Regulations (Portuguese only)

Committees

Statutory Technical Committees

The Executive Board counts on the advice of the Statutory Technical Committee on Investment and Divestment.

The members of the Executive Board have 8 (eight) technical advisory committees, composed of members of the general structure, with specific duties for analysis and recommendation on certain matters:

  • Statutory Technical Committee for Engineering, Technology and Innovation
  • Statutory Technical Committee for Exploration & Production
  • Statutory Technical Committee for Industrial Processes and Products
  • Statutory Technical Committee for Logistics, Trading and Markets
  • Statutory Finance and Investor Relations Technical Committee
  • Statutory Technical Committee for Governance & Compliance
  • Statutory Technical Committee for Corporate Affairs

The composition and operating rules of the Statutory Technical Committees are governed by regulation approved by the Board of Directors.

Regiments

CTE Internal Regulations - (available in Portuguese)

Deliberative and Advisory Committees

The Executive Board may create committees, with delegated powers, linked to this body or directly to one of its members. The committees can be of a deliberative or consultative nature and have the purpose of assisting the Executive Board in the fulfillment of their duties and responsibilities. These committees are composed of managers from different areas of the company, in order to guarantee a multidisciplinary view in the analysis and discussion of matters, as well as in the decision-making process. The composition and rules of operation of the committees will be governed by regulations to be approved by the Executive Board and submitted to the Board of Directors.

The deliberative and consultative committees can set up commissions and working groups, with predominantly tactical and operational activities, to support them in the performance of their duties.

Performance evaluation and Remuneration

The performance evaluation of the Board of Directors (BoD) is conducted in two stages, one in line with SEST (Secretariat for the Coordination of State-Owned Companies – a Federal Government Agency), and the other based on a diagnosis prepared by a specialized consulting firm selected through a bidding process. The results of the evaluations are submitted to the BoD to identify potential improvement opportunities, and do not impact the compensation of its members or the members of its committees, as their compensation remains fixed. On the other hand, the performance of the Executive Board (EB) is annually evaluated by the BoD, using a methodology defined by the Board.

Regarding variable remuneration, we have two practices (PLR and PRD), as presented in the Social/People/Remuneration and Benefits section: Social

It is worth noting that regarding the Performance Award (PRD), the higher the employee’s hierarchical level (General Manager, Master Consultant, Executive Manager, and equivalent positions), the greater the weight of the top metrics in defining the number of remunerations the employee is entitled to. This linkage aims to reflect greater accountability of higher-level managerial positions with the corporate performance.

Our top metrics

For EB members (CEO and Executive Officers), Executive Managers, and General Managers, 40% of the variable remuneration payment is deferred over five years, with values linked to the market value of Petrobras shares. It is worth noting that we have mechanisms to safeguard the company (clawback), wherein EB members, Executive Managers, and General Managers forfeit the immediate and deferred portions of variable remuneration payments in cases of resignation or upon the application of sanctions outlined in the consequences framework.
