“…He combines two schools of thought: voluntary submission of practices to stakeholders and the role of government in determining the environmental sustainable development of companies. Despite these similarities and commonality between both the private investors and local government, it is vital to maintain distinctions between national objectives and commercial objectives (Braga & Szklo, 2014). Ramirez-Cendrero and Paz (2017) trace the development of NOCs in Brazil and Mexico and the importance of political and institutional factors.…”

“…Petrobras' discovery of the pre-salt province led to federal laws and policies towards production-sharing agreements. Included in these governmental decisions were also stricter guidelines for environmental protection as compared to earlier concession agreements (Braga & Szklo, 2014). The state's government plays a major role in altering practices of oil companies in implementing key areas of sustainable development and can be traced throughout Brazilian history with the monopoly era from 1953̶ 1997 under both the military dictatorship and return to democracy in the mid̶ 1980s, the era of decentralization from 1998̶ 2010 and the hybrid governance arrangement from 2010̶ 2013 (Aguiar & Friere, 2017).…”

The case studies of Gazprom and Petrobras are used to compare the interaction and relation between national oil companies, the state government and environmental policy. Specifically the paper seeks to address how the policy and interaction between the state government and the NOCs affect sustainable development of the preservation of the environment. The methodology used is set out by senior research international scholar, Eduardo Viola. He examines the state government's position on the climate through three criteria: reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, domestic climate policies and the state's international standing on the issue. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) GHG Inventory data, Brazil and Russia's energy strategies and a third-party newspaper reporter will all be used to compare the two case studies. The research discovers that protection of the natural environment is an area of lesser importance to more predominant state goals of energy development and independence and the foreign policy agendas of legitimizing or leveraging the state's energy capabilities towards other nations.
