Rio de Janeiro received R$ 93 million in corporate social investment in 2025, according to a survey by Comunitas in the annual Bisc research (Benchmarking of Corporate Social Investment). The value represents the destination of resources allocated to social projects by companies headquartered in the state.

According to Firjan, 97% of companies headquartered in Rio de Janeiro adopt ESG criteria, the acronym in English for environmental, social, and governance practices, which encompass corporate commitment to impact on society and the environment.

The environmental agenda leads resource allocation among companies, while initiatives focused on the social pillar rank 12th in priorities. Nevertheless, the social dimension grew 24 percentage points according to the 2025 research, indicating a trend of growth in corporate social actions.

US oil reserves are at the lowest level since 1982

The United States' strategic petroleum reserves reached their lowest level since 1982 on August 31, at 289.7 million barrels, potentially dropping to 243 million if President Donald Trump releases another 39 million barrels. The White House revealed details of an agreement with Venezuela, described as the "largest oil agreement" in world history, granting the US majority control over 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan reserves. The agreement, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, through the company North American Blue Energy Partners, guarantees the US a 35% stake in the parent company, rights to purchase 20% of production at cost of production to replenish the strategic reserve depleted by Joe Biden, and veto power over board appointments.
