Petrobras creates task force to combat cases of sexual harassment.
"The company's new management reiterates that it does not tolerate any type of harassment or violence against women," stated the state-owned company, headed by Jean Paul Prates.
247 Petrobras, headed by Jean Paul Prates, has created a Working Group (WG) to review internal procedures for receiving and handling complaints of harassment and sexual assault against women. The results of the assessment and immediate measures will be presented by April 20th.
"The company's new management reiterates that it does not tolerate any type of harassment and violence against women. Processes for protecting whistleblowers and applying punishments will be reviewed, as well as the responsibilities of the areas that are in charge of investigating complaints," it said.
The group will be coordinated by the SMS Executive Manager, Daniele Lomba, and will report directly to the Executive Board. It will have representatives from administrative and operational areas, composed of members from the presidency, Ombudsman, SMS – Health, Environment and Safety, Human Resources, Compliance, Corporate Integrity, Intelligence and Corporate Security, Exploration and Production, Social Responsibility, and Business Integration and Equity Investments.
Reports of harassment cases can be made to the Complaint Channel (https://www.contatoseguro.com.br/petrobras).
Through these records, the company will be able to take appropriate measures for investigation and application of sanctions. Petrobras reinforces its commitment to protecting victims and emphasizes that the privacy and support of whistleblowers will be guaranteed.
