Our performance of the carbon intensity indicator
(tCO2e/t produced) considers the impact of accumu-
lated Scopes 1 and 2 emissions (Market-based; tCO₂e)
compared to the company's total production (tons
produced). Despite our progress in absolute terms,
Braskem's carbon intensity increased by 4.6% com-
pared to 2019, reaching a value of 0.669 tCO2e / t. This
increased intensity can be attributed mostly to the
5% smaller production volume, leading to lower ener-
gy performance in the units, while the events of the
pandemic of Covid-19 made it impossible to schedule
maintenance stops in some industrial units.
Reduced
our greenhouse gas
emissions by more than 17% between 2008 and 2020.
Reached 94% of our 2020
long-term climate change goals.
This means
we avoided the emission
of almost 30 million tons CO2e, equivalent to planting more
than 200 million trees.
