2016 Braskem | Annual Report
Ethics Line Channel
G4-58
Cross-sectionally, Braskem
provides the Ethics Line Channel
in which all stakeholders may, in
a safe and responsible manner,
contribute information in order
to maintain a sound, ethical,
transparent, and productive
corporate environment. This
channel is accessible via the
Internet on the Company's
website, or through a toll-
free number in the languages
of the countries in which
Braskem operates. All the
information received on the
Channel is investigated,
respecting
confidentiality
and independence, ensuring
the anonymity of the whistle
blowers and the security of the
investigation.
In 2017, the Ethics Line Channel
will change and evolve. The
system will be outsourced and
specialized, providing greater
impartiality and independence.
The service will be customized,
will operate 24 hours a day,
and will be a reference tool for
managing reports.
