The Brazilian Oil and Gas Institute (IBP) is part of the Sustainable Business Day - a partnership with the Global Compact, Sustainable Idea and the Leadership with Values Platform - which takes place today, October 14th. The initiative invites entities and companies to strengthen - with communication and articulation activities - the dissemination of the 8 principles to expand sustainability in business, such as putting purpose before profit, having genuine concern for the well-being of employees and that the world needs more ethical and transparent corporations.

The Institute supports the mobilization action of the O&G sector on the importance of sustainability in business strategy, promoting the use of the hashtag #diadosnegociossustentaveis on social networks.
