Petrobras corporate governance and credit upgrades

Overview

Petrobras has achieved significant milestones regarding its corporate governance and credit standing. The company became the first Brazilian firm to reach Level 4 maturity in the Internal Audit Capability Model (IA-CM), a recognition of its structured processes and governance following a year of external validation.

Concurrently, Fitch Ratings upgraded Petrobras’s Standalone Credit Profile (SCP) from ‘bbb’ to ‘bbb+’, marking its first upgrade of this indicator since 2020. This financial improvement coincides with strong operational performance, including record production levels in the third quarter of 2026 and high refinery utilization rates.
