Braskem INTEGRATED REPORT 2020 STRATEGIC PLANNING 26 A MESSAGE FROM THE BUSINESS LEADER BRASKEM CAPITAL PERFORMANCE ABOUT THE REPORT CREDITS > Challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic GRI 403-2 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.
