These initiatives are part of an agenda that integrates the Gender Equality
Program, created in 2015 by Braskem and divided into four pillars:

4.
Women's careers: aims to promote the empowerment of women
in their careers, as well as foster the number of women in leadership
positions at Braskem.
Maternity and paternity: provides support so that women and
men may make the most of this phase of life.
Health and well-being: supports health and wellness actions for
women and men, such as Pink October and Blue November.
Procurement and communities: brings Braskem a greater number
of women suppliers and encourages the practice of diversity programs
in the Company's sector of activity, and promotes the empowerment
of women through social programs in the communities.

strategy. Throughout 2016, the Company invested BRL 19 million in various training actions, trained 6,968

Respect and Equality
The presence of women in environments and occupations that
were previously predominantly male has become increasingly
common. Aware of this need, especially in the production
units, in 2016 Braskem implemented specific breastfeeding
support rooms for the withdrawal and storage of breast milk
in all its units in Brazil. In addition, the Company adapted
73 bathrooms in Brazilian industrial plants, adapted work
uniforms for pregnant women, defined parking spaces for
pregnant women at all locations, and extended the period of
maternity leave granted to female Team Members to 180 days.
The results of these initiatives led Braskem to be nominated,
in its first year of implementation of the Program, as a finalist
in the WEPS (Women Empowerment Principles) Award of UN
Women, receiving honorable mention for its work promoting
gender equality.
Throughout the year, Braskem
improved the execution of several
programs focused on a better
work
environment, integration,
qualification, and training of
Team Members, and on preparing
