Braskem

Circular economy

Braskem is committed to supporting growth in recycling everywhere it operates as well as actions that advance the circular economy, that is, how we design, produce, use, recycle, recover or reuse plastics.

As such, we support initiatives that address conscious consumption, lifecycle management of plastics, proper disposal and recycling.

Sustainable Festival

We have been sponsors of the Sustainable Festival since its first edition and today we are present in the cities of Porto Alegre, Salvador and São Paulo seeking to sensitize, raise awareness and mobilize society about sustainability. We believe that by providing information on conscious consumption, circular economy and proper disposal enhances engagement by everybody towards a more sustainable planet.

Blue Keepers

The initiative of Global Compact Network Brazil brings together companies from various sectors to face the challenge of plastics disposal in the seas and Braskem is part of the movement. The project, under joint coordination and focused on waste management, operates to generate short, medium and long term impact through diagnosis, solutions, pilot projects and public management.

Global Sustainability Agenda

Commitment to sustainability is in our DNA and it is a premise for our action. Our goal is to become a carbon neutral company by 2050.

Through sponsorships, we connect with initiatives and entities that promote the global sustainability agenda, strengthening the engagement of different agents in sustainable action in environmental, social and economic terms.

At the communities around our factories, we support projects that contribute towards sustainable development of these regions and of society as a whole. We focus on initiatives related to consumption and post consumption, innovation and entrepreneurship and sustainable local development.
