Braskem Idesa
The Company's commitment to
protecting and promoting human
rights goes beyond geographical
and cultural boundaries. Braskem
Idesa, a joint venture between
Braskem and the Mexican group
Idesa, were conceived with
prerogatives of sustainability
and human rights. Therefore, in
addition to following Braskem's
global corporate policies, such
as the Code of Conduct for
Team Members, the unit has a
policy focused on Human Rights,
which includes procedures that
guarantee excellent social and
environmental performance:
• Health and Safety: Accident
frequency rates with and without
lost time during the construction
phase were less than one accident
per million man-hours worked,
winning the DuPont Safety and
Sustainability Award 2015, as a
worldwide highlight in the area of
Industrial Safety. In 2016, its first
year of operation, this rate was
0.67, lower than the average for
the Chemical Industry in Mexico
determined by the National
Association of the Chemical
Industry in Mexico (ANIQ).
• Diversity: During the
construction phase, women's
participation was 8%, a highly
representative rate when
compared to the Mexican national
average of 3.5%. In addition,
workers came from 24 different
nationalities, but with great use
of local labor, which represented
85% of the workforce. The current
diversity ratio in the workforce is
31% women and 69% men.
• Human Rights Training:
Over 500 people were trained
in different aspects, including
sexual harassment and
mobbing, in which there was a
reduction of 40% of the cases
reported.
• Human Development:
670,000 training hours to
ensure better professional
qualification.
⚫ New Opportunities Program:
An initiative created to support
professional relocation after
completion of the construction
work on the Braskem Idesa
Petrochemical Complex,
ensuring the inclusion of 6,500
people in selective processes.
• Private Social Investment:
After identifying regional
talents, 200 people from the
community (93% women)
were trained to be suppliers
for Braskem Idesa and other
companies in the region (legal
constitution of 11 cooperatives
of cleaning products, uniforms,
and tilapia and chicken
farming, as well as recycling
materials made available by
the Company).
• Participatory Environmental
Monitoring: Community
representatives were trained
to measure levels of air and
water contaminants, as well as
dust and noise levels. These
people perform environmental
monitoring, guaranteeing the
transparency of the results
which, so far, have not been
any different than the initial
environmental parameters.
• Biodiversity: 400 hectares of
reforested area, 529 specimens
of the local wildlife rescued and
five-fold increase of 331 plants
of the rare endangered species
"Ceratozamia Miqueliana."
• Preservation of Cultural
Heritage: The construction
works were monitored by
a team of specialists from
the National Institute of
Anthropology and History
(INAH) to ensure that any
archaeological remains
were properly identified and
recovered. Currently, over
three thousand pieces have
been found and are part of
the collection of the INAH-
Veracruz Center.
Braskem Idesa will continue
to carry out third-party audits
to ensure compliance with
principles governing Human
Rights, and, together with
Braskem's other businesses, will
intensify the promotion of the
Ethics Line Channel through an
educational process.View entire presentation
