INTEGRATED Braskem CAPITAL PERFORMANCE REPORT 2020 A MESSAGE FROM THE BUSINESS LEADER BRASKEM STRATEGIC PLANNING ABOUT THE REPORT CREDITS ŵ (44) 3D PRINTING Fostering Innovation Another innovation was the launch of a portfolio of exclu- sive products for 3D printing. Braskem's polypropylene (PP) solutions proved to be attractive and ideal for additive man- ufacturing for their recyclability, impact resistance, dimen- sional stability and lower density compared to other types of plastics, contributing to lighter parts printed in 3D. Keeping an EYE on Science Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique that allows quantifying and analyzing the environmental impacts of a good or service, from the extraction of the raw material to its final disposal. LCA is based on scientific criteria and the analysis provides accurate information to support business decisions aimed at reducing environmental impacts along the entire value chain. In addition to quantitative aspects, LCA considers carbon footprint, water footprint, toxicity and depletion of natural resources, among others. We use LCA to support strategic decisions in terms of their sustainability. In 2020, we launched the LCA Platform, a group of team members from all regions responsible for disseminating acquired knowledge and exploring new opportunities. A total of seven life cycle analysis studies were completed in 2020; another seven were started and are currently in development. In addition, we have developed a scientific article that is in the final stage of approval by the journal. BRASKEM LABS Braskem Labs was created in 2015 to expand and encou- rage innovations with a positive socio-environmental impact. The program is designed to accelerate startups that seek to make the world more sustainable through solutions that use chemicals and/or plastic, helping them move forward through the next stages of maturity. In the 2020 edition of the program, we invited compa- nies from our value chain to join us. Our clients Ambev, BRF, AkzoNobel and Grupo Boticário are now mentoring startups and exploring business opportunities with them. In the midst of social distancing requirements due to the pandemic, 20 startups selected for the Ignition and Scale programs went through three months of remote wor- kshops, dynamics and networking to accelerate and build up their business. The cycle ended with Demo Day, where startups made their pitch to investors, executives and business partners. In all, 25% of the accelerated star- tups entered relationships with Braskem or participating co-sponsors as customers, suppliers or partners. Our portfolio has grown to 74 accelerated startups so far, out of which 32% did business with Braskem. + Learn more here. 28 In all, 25% of the accelerated startups became Braskem customers, suppliers or partners
