Presidente Bernardes has a high conversion capacity, producing dozens of high market value, international standard oil products. Located in the foothills of the Serra do Mar mountain range and crossed by the Old São Paulo-Santos Road - the first paved road in Brazil, the refinery had the merit of making way for the emergence, in São Paulo, of the pioneering Cubatão petrochemical complex.

Brief background:

President Bernandes was the first major refinery built shortly after our company was established. The construction was the result of an investment plan of the Brazilian government in the postwar period.
 

When inaugurated, on April 16, 1955, the refinery accounted for supplying half of the domestic market. Today, it supplies 8% of the domestic oil product production.

By 1983, the refinery had received investments worth $20 million to improve industrial processes aiming at pollution control.
 

That very year, we launched the Cubatão Environmental Recovery Program. From 1984, we made new investments in wastewater, air emission and solid waste treatment systems which added up to about $140 million by 2003. The refinery holds the ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 9002 (quality processes) and OHSAS 18001 (health and safety) certifications.
