This is the first time Braskem has implemented a sustainable development body formed by external and independent members. The goal is to draw on expert support for guiding its sustainable development strategy - incorporating and strengthening practices that contribute to the company meeting its targets for 2030 and 2050.

The Committee has been in development since last year based on the principle of diversity in terms of professional background and cultural profiles. Among its members are Clarissa Lins, founding partner of Catavento Consulting; Georg Kell, an engineer specializing in sustainability and founder of the UN Global Compact; Izabella Teixeira, former Brazilian Minister of the Environment; and Philippe Joubert, the CEO of Earth on Board.

The Committee is part of the governance structure of the strategy, which is formed by the company's main executives. The members have a term of office of two years, which may be extended.
