In 2020, we continued reducing our absolute emissions
(scopes 1 and 2), with a slight decline of 0.62% com-
pared to the previous year, showing our sustained per-
formance even in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
We defined our new long-term goals in 2020, and we
also updated the emissions of our base year, so the
new figure now reflects scopes 1 and 2 results in 2019.
Another highlight is that we continue to lead CDP Cli-
mate, and we made their A-list.
Scope 1 emissions totaled 10,035,761 tCO2e, about
the same level as the previous year(+0.04%). Scope 2
emissions totaled 735,479 tCO2e, 8.79% lower than the
previous year, as a result of the reduction in the emis-
sion factors of the electricity grid. Approximately 75%
of the electricity purchased by Braskem comes from
renewable sources, especially considering the weight
of hydroelectric power plants in the Brazilian Nation-
al Interconnected System. In addition, since 2019 we
have been obtaining proof of origin for electricity con-
sumption at our units in Brazil (Market-based), repre-
senting in 2020 18,969 tCO2e in self-declaration and
10,840 tCO2e with the retirement of renewable energy
certificates, the so-called I-RECs.
1. The result published in the 2019 Report (scope 1, 9,756,560 tCO2e; scope 2, 801,634 tCO2e; and emission intensity, 0.624) was adjusted due to the revision of
the data and premise and is in the certification phase by a third party, following the criteria of the accounting methodology of the GHG Protocol. GRI 102-48View entire presentation
