SAFETY FOR PEOPLE
We quickly adapted our routine to
health protocols, ensuring participant
safety and engagement
The coronavirus pandemic brought an unprecedented
challenge for people and companies around the world.
At Braskem, we focused on building a robust contingen-
cy plan to mitigate the effects of the pandemic while
continuing to pursue our short-, medium- and long-
term objectives. This plan had three main fronts:
•Safety for people
Support for our value chain
• Reliability and resilience for our operations
The plan enabled us to adapt to the new concept work-
ing safely and cooperatively ensuring fast response
thanks to the engagement of our professionals in the
new model. We soon resumed production and commer-
cial activities, providing support to the plastic chain and
communities and ensuring our financial health during
this challenging period.
To us, safety is a non-negotiable value. As the pandemic
spread in the first months of 2020, different actions were
taken to enforce social distancing at the company. Our
existing remote work model called Flex Office enabled us
to quickly implement home office for our employees. This
made it possible for 100% of our office teams to work from
their homes, reducing contacts and commutes.
Regional support programs helped associates transition
into the new model. In Brazil, online streaming events
and courses provided assurance and support around
five pillars: Mental Well-Being, Physical Well-Being,
Social Well-Being, Support for Remote Work and Profes-
sional Improvement. Our 26 live events were attended
by 6,000 team members - 40% of all associates - and
reached a satisfaction rate of 96%. In addition, ergo-
nomic and technology kits were provided for associates
in home office mode.View entire presentation
