This year, we saw significant developments in our operations 
thanks  to  continuous  production  throughout  the  year, 
substituting  Natural  Gas  for  ethane  to  help  ensure  the 
continuity of our processes. We also started building our new 
Ethane  Terminal,  which  will  provide  the  raw  materials  we 
require to operate. In financial and environmental terms, we 
refinanced our entire Project Finance debt structure, helping 
to achieve our zero-emission goal by 2050.

In  compliance  with  reporting  methodology,  we  declare  that 
“this  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  GRI 
Standards:  Core  option  stipulated  by  the  Global  Reporting 
Initiative (GRI)”. Furthermore, there were no modifications to 
the information, which has been verified by an external party. 
In  addition  to  our  sustainability  strategy  and  vision,  we  are 
working on a new materiality to  update material issues, which 
we will present in our next report.

Value Chain 

In  keeping  with  our  sustainability  strategy,  we  drive  economic,  social  and  environmental 

development in the region surrounding our petrochemical complex, located in Nanchital in the 

state of Veracruz, Mexico. This region plays a key role in rail, port and land transport options that 

combine to create an integrated network that meets the needs of our clients. 

This location and the strategies we have implemented allow us to deliver our products to  clients 

in any part of the country in an average of 72 hours thanks to our 1,530 train cars and our logistics 

platform’s rail terminal, which has a capacity for more than 400 hopper cars and 30 tank cars for 

chemical products, all of which are connected to the main rail concession in Mexico.

Furthermore, both innovation and the technology play a key role in our complex, which is one 

of the most modern of its kind in the world. We have 21 silos with a capacity of 500 tons each, 

which  are  connected via  three  bottling  lines. We  also  have  a  215,000-square-foot warehouse 

and a 300,000-square-foot open-air yard with a  capacity to store more than 36,000 tons of

According to the Shareholder Agreement, Braskem can appoint 5 members to our

policies, values and principles of the company.

election. The longest-serving director was appointed in April 2010, and the most 

recent director was appointed in January 2021.

Our corporate governance model operates within a framework that promotes an 

ethical, transparent and upright approach to how we treat our stakeholders. 

Our Board of Directors oversees the following committees:

Officer  and  provides  support  in  terms  of  issues 

regarding  our  compliance  system.  The  major

Financial Results

In  keeping  with  our  sustainability  strategy  and  macro 

goal 2, we believe it is of fundamental importance that 

we  report  our  financial  performance  and  results  by 

publishing our financial statements, in strict compliance 

with regulations issued by the Mexican tax authorities, 

SOX  requirements,  and  the  guidelines  published  by 

the  Organization  for  Economic  Cooperation  and 

Development (OECD).

Investment and Financial Results 

2021 was  a  challenging year  for  businesses  in  Mexico; 

however,  at  Braskem  Idesa,  we  can  proudly  say  that 

we overcame this adversity thanks to the support and 

trust  of  our  stakeholders  in  each  of  our  operations. 

Overall,  this  meant  that  the  organization’s  financial 

performance improved.

In light of the challenges that continued into 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully ensured the continuity 

of our operations in order to offer our clients the solutions they need, in addition to bolstering the Mexican economy.   

Operating results for 2021 were driven by record polyethylene prices stemming from disruption to the global supply 

chain and the logistical issues experienced throughout the year, in addition to greater-than-expected demand and 

economic recovery from the initial effects of COVID-19 in 2020.

Capital Market Bond Issue

In 2021, we successfully refinanced our Project Finance 

debt by issuing a Sustainability Linked Bond (SLB) on the 

capital market for a total of USD $1.2 billion, recognized 

by Global Capital as the Latin America Operation of the 

Year, and a term loan of USD $150 million.

This bond will be paid in a period of 10 years at an annual 

fixed rate of 6.99%, and it is linked to our commitment 

to  sustainability.  The  total  order  book  stands  at  3.9 

times  the  amount  requested  by  Braskem  Idesa,  and 

more than 240 investors have voiced their interest. 

Acknowledging the role that sustainable finances play 

in driving the transition to a low-carbon economy and 

the  more  efficient  use  of  resources,  we  decided  to 

issue  the  Sustainability  Linked  Bond  (SLB)  to  link  our 

financing strategy and sustainability strategy.

Energy

Our commitment to the environment can be clearly seen in the ongoing improvements to and 

reduction  in  the  energy  used  in  our  production  processes.  Our  petrochemical  complex  has  a 

natural gas cogeneration plant that supplies energy to all production areas, and we also have 13 

electrical substations and 5.5 km of electrical lines with a capacity of 150 MW that are connected 

to the Federal Electricity Commission’s (CFE) grid.     

During 2021, we discharged 1,098,580 m3 
of  water  into  the  Gopalapa  River,  all  of 
which was processed at our wastewater 

treatment  plant  (WWTP)  to  guarantee 

the discharged water undergoes a high-

Innovative and Sustainable Solutions within 
the Circular Economy

In keeping with our commitment to migrate to a Circular Economy, we have 

continued to develop our line of Post-Consumer Resin (PCR) Polyethylene 

resins,  which  guarantee  batch  quality,  standardization,  and  traceability  in 

order  to  launch  a  High-Density  Polyethylene  (HDPE)  resin  on  the  market 

that is made from 30% PCR and 70% virgin resin, as well as 50% PCR and 

50% virgin resin, and 70% PCR and 30% virgin resin. 

The production process for PCR resin at Braskem Idesa is outlined below:

1.  Production  of  virgin  polyethylene  resin  at  the  Braskem 

Idesa 

petrochemical complex.

2.  Collection by Alcamare, recycling centers and plastic waste collection 

partners.

3.  Classification, cleaning, and extrusion of plastic waste by Alcamare. It is 
then mixed with virgin resin from Braskem Idesa to product the pellets 

of the PCR resin compound and deliver them to clients and distributors.

THE CREATION OF OUR 
PCR RESIN

has enabled us to incorporate 
a recycling process into our 
operations, expand our sustainable 
portfolio, and give plastic a new

Through a forward-looking approach, Braskem’s 

global  commitments  to  the  Circular  Economy 

business model are: 

•  By  2025,  expand  the  I'm  Green  Recycled™ 
portfolio,  which  includes  sales  of  300,000 

tons  of  products  that  contain  recycled 

material per year. 

•  By  2030,  continue  expanding  the 

I'm 

Green™  portfolio,  which  includes  sales  of 

1,000,000  tons  of  products  that  contain 

recycled material per year.

•  By  2030,  work 

towards 

recovering 

1,500,000  tons  of  plastic waste  in  order  to 

avoid  disposal  via  incineration,  landfill  or 

dumping. 

Memorandum Of 
Understanding (MOU) with 
Alcamare

Post-Consumer  Resins 

(PCR)  made  from  Polyethylene 

(PE)  and 

Polypropylene (PP) represent a viable option for fulfilling the commitments 

to use recycled materials made by global brand owners, and solutions for 

food products will play a crucial role. 

They are also a solution for complying with legislation in the United States 

and  Mexico  and  focusing  on  providing  incentives  for  the  use  of  recycled 

materials  in  packaging.  This  is  why,  in  collaboration  with  Alcamare,  we 

signed a long-term cooperation agreement to develop food-grade recycled 
material. 

This collaboration agreement represents a significant advance in accessing a 

new select market for high-quality recycled materials that will complement 

the virgin products produced by Braskem Idesa. This sector will see a rapid 

growth rate, almost three times that of virgin resins.

Recycled products require major investments in technology in order to be 

able to properly separate, wash, extrude and decontaminate plastic waste 

to reach the level of purity required. We expect that the use of these resins 

will help create attractive solutions for producers and consumers.

"THIS COLLABORATION 
PLAYS AN IMPORTANT 
role in allowing us to continue offering 
the solutions that our clients and 
brand owners need, in addition to 
helping Alcamare and Braskem Idesa 
reaffirm their visions, purposes and 
technological development".

Director.

As part of this partnership, Citrulsa, one of Genomma 

Lab’s suppliers, has incorporated PCR resin developed 

by  Braskem  Idesa  into  the  polyethylene  containers  it 

supplies to Genomma Lab for brands including Vanart®, 

Alert®,  Cicatricure®,  Goicoechea®,  Silka®,  Teatrical®, 

among others.

"BRASKEM IDESA
PROVIDES THE 
Mexican market with high-
quality solutions for high-
performance applications, 
using an increasingly higher 
percentage of post-consumer 
recycled content, both in 
terms of polyethylene and 
polypropylene.”

Alfredo Prince-Braskem Idesa's 
Commercial Director.

As part of our Social Responsibility efforts, at Braskem 

Idesa  we  have  developed  programs  that  promote 
identify  plastics,  drive 
education  about  how  to 

responsible consumption and proper waste separation, 

and  promote  a  culture  of  recycling  and  the  Circular 

Economy within society. 

These  actions  help  take  full  advantage  of  the  lifecycle 

of  plastic  and  drive  social  changes  regarding  post-

consumer waste management. Our overarching goal is 

to help avoid plastic waste being incorrectly disposed of 

and fulfil our commitments to the Circular Economy.  

Promoting infrastructure to drive plastic collection and 

recycling  alongside  our  clients,  brand  owners,  Team 

Members and society is how we can help drive change 

through small actions. 

TEAMWORK HAS 
ALLOWED US 

to achieve great things 
and drive more projects 
relating to the Circular 
Economy.

PLASTIANGUIS

At  Braskem  Idesa,  we  adopted  this  program  created 

by  the  Mexican Association  of  the  Chemical  Industry 

(ANIQ) in 2017, which focuses on supporting education 

through  responsible  consumption,  recycling,  and 

plastic  processing  by  creating 

infrastructure  for 

collecting plastic waste, which can then be exchanged 

for basic food products or school supplies.  

Despite  the  pandemic,  we  successfully  coordinated 

this  program  while  complying  with  the  health 

measures rolled out by the authorities. The milestones 

we  reached  as  part  of  the  Plastianguis  program  in 
2021 are outlined below:

•  15,000 people benefitted.

•  3 locations: Faculty of Chemistry at UNAM in 
CDMX, Nanchital in Veracruz, and the Autonomous 

University of Guadalajara (UAG). 

•  Brand 

owners, 

clients, 

distributors, 

and 

participating NGO’s.

IN 2021, 
we rolled out the 
first program in 
Guadalajara, while 
this annual program is 
already well established 
in Veracruz and CDMX.

and high schools in Nanchital and Coatzacoalcos, in the 

state of Veracruz. 

In  addition  to  the  benefits  relating  to  changes  in 

the  culture  of  environmental  conservation,  we 

support  academic  development  by  exchanging 

post-consumer plastic waste for school supplies and 

training. This year, we offered talks to teachers about 

the changes to the program, in addition to providing 

them  with  a  COVID  kit  for  personal  and  school  use. 

We achieved the following results: 

•  3 tons of plastic collected.
•  20  schools  benefitted  in  Nanchital  and  Nuevo 

Mundo.

•  3,000 children benefitted.
•  30 COVID kits donated.
•  90 furbished computers donated.

10 TONS
collected and 51 schools 
benefitted during 2021.

WE CONTRIBUTE 
to the Circular Economy 
by driving the education 
of young people and 
children, our leading 
agents of change.

PLASTIEN

A  community  collection  cooperative  that  processes, 

disposes  and  traces  plastic  waste,  it  is  also  a  Social 

Responsibility project promoted by Braskem Idesa and 

comprises 90% female and 10% male entrepreneurs.

The  goal  of  this  project  is  to  drive  social  inclusion 

and  socio-economic  development  of  people  who 

collect  and  classify  recyclable  materials,  promote  the 

development of the recycling value chain, and foment 

its economic growth and the Circular Economy.

THERE IS A 
PERMANENT 
COLLECTION
CENTER 
that has the capacity to 
handle 10 tons of waste 
on average per month 
(PET, PP, PE, cardboard, 
pallets, junk).

WE CONTINUE 
TO CREATE A 
COOPERATIVE 
that focuses on 
collecting, processing 
and adequately disposing 
of plastic waste.

In  2021,  we  collaborated  with  the 

Plastic 

Fishing  Championship 

(Campeonato de Pesca de Plástico) 

organized  by  the  Ministry  for 

Sustainable Development (SEDESU) 

and  state  and  local  authorities.  The  Organization  for 

Environmental  Co-responsibility  (ONAM)  coordinates 

the collection of the plastic waste by recycling partners:

•  30 fishermen participated.
•  2.7 tons of plastic collected in 4 hours.

BRASKEM IDESA
IS CONVINCED 
that together we can drive 
change within the plastic 
industry, rethinking our business 
models, promoting responsible 
consumption, and ensuring the 
adequate management and 
recycling of plastic waste."

PRODUCT LIFE 
CYCLE

Monitoring and mitigating environmental impacts play a 

fundamental role in both our Sustainability Strategy and 

our Circular Economy, which is why we use tools such as 

Life  Cycle  Analysis  (LCA)  to  analyze  our  products.  This 

analysis encompasses all our processes - from the value 

chain  and  the  extraction  of  the  raw  materials  to  final 

disposal  -  in  order  to  corroborate  the  benefits  that  our 

solutions have on sustainable development.

In 2021, we undertook the Environmental and Social Life 

Cycle Analysis of our High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) 

with Post-Consumer Resin (PCR), which is of fundamental 

importance  in  measuring  the  potential  impacts  that 

the  production  of  recycled  plastic  resin  has  on  the 

environment, from the outset to the manufacturing of 1 

kg of PCR resin.

BRASKEM IDESAS'S 
SOCIAL LCA

industrial plastic recycling 
sector  in Mexico.

to  including  its  social    impact  through  a  Social  Life

The major results of the LCA are outlined below:

As part of the Social LCA, which assessed the performance 

of Braskem Idesa, Alcamare and its social waste collection 

centers,  they  achieved  a  high  performance  rating,  in 

addition to documenting good practices in the categories 

of health, safety, community, the eradication of child labor, 

economic development, and community commitment.

In 2021, Mexico reformed labor laws, meaning that employees can no longer be employed through outsourcing. As 

such, since August 2021, all people directly related to the operations and maintenance of our complex were recruited 

as Team Members of Braskem Idesa. 

We safeguard the labor rights of our 939 Team Members (195 people working at Corporate and 744 at our Complex), 

of whom 206 are women and 733 are men. They have a permanent and full-time contract and are distributed as

Furthermore,  and  in  order  to  drive  the  development 

of our Team Members, we offer long-term incentives, 

such as our savings plan, in which Braskem Idesa covers 

part of the contribution, while the remainder is covered 

by the Team Member. Our directors also have access to 

a stock purchase program. 

In  2021,  we  kept  our  remote  working  model  in  place 

as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritizing the 

health of our Team Members. In 2022, we will be rolling 

out a new hybrid working model (remote and in-person 

working), which will allow us to offer new work models. 

Furthermore,  and  in  order  to  safeguard  and  support 

the  families  of  our  Team  Members,  we  offer  a  range 

of  different  benefits, 

including  childcare  support 

and  maternity  programs  that  include  21  calendar 

days  of  paid  leave  and  7  calendar  days  of  a  reduced 

work  schedule  for  our  female  Team  Members.  When 

they  return  to  work,  we  also  offer  5  working  days  of 

paid  paternity  leave,  which  is  in  addition  to  the  leave 

stipulated  in  the  Federal  Labor Act  (this  also  includes 

paternity leave as a result of adoption).

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

At Braskem Idesa, we are committed to the development and well-being of our 

Team  Members,  driving  measures  that  ensure  good  relationships,  impeccable 

behavior, and, above all, a healthy work environment, all governed by our Code of 

Conduct. 

Furthermore,  in  terms  of  Diversity,  Equity  and  Inclusion,  we  raise  awareness 

among  and  offer  training  to  our  Team  Members  through  podcasts,  workshops 

and activations, such as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Week or our Recruitment 

Fair for people with disabilities, in addition to our DEI approach to the induction 

processes for new Team Members and our recruitment and selection process. 

AT BRASKEM IDESA, 11% OF DIRECTORS
Prevenir
28.13% of managers and 34.43% of coordinators 
are women.

In  terms  of  pay,  our  performance  assessment  system  uses 

quantitative  and  qualitative  methods  that  categorize  positions 

using  four  factors:  Skills,  Problem  Solving,  Responsibility,  and 

Working Conditions. 

Another  element  that  we  deem  to  be  relevant  in  helping  to 

promote diversity and inclusion are people with disabilities, which 

is why, during 2021, we included a front desk service to underpin our 

efforts to increase the number of people with disabilities within the 

workforce,  in  addition  to  promoting  among  our  service  providers 

the  inclusion  of  people  with  disabilities  in  their  workforces,  while 

taking into consideration that the post does not pose any risk to 

their health and safety. 

IN 2021
we hired 1 person with a 
disability through our front 
desk service.

optimizing spaces to help avoid or mitigate infections among Team Members and 

contractors.

In  addition  to  these  social  distancing  measures,  we  created  a  Health  Brigade 

comprising  security  personnel  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  measures 

implemented. This brigade filed a daily report outlining any incidents that occurred 

during the day.

THE HEALTH BRIGADE   
helped us to prevent compliance issues with 
the public health measures implemented at the 
complex.

4. Cleaning and Disinfection

We have crews that are tasked with cleaning and disinfecting common 

areas, vehicles, access points, workspaces, and major points of contact 

on a daily basis. In order to ensure proper sanitization, a diluted solution 

of  chlorine  or  a  nebulizer  with  DERM-O-QUAT-PLUS  are  used,  both 

of which are recommended by public health authorities and Braskem 

Idesa’s medical service.

For our contractors, we sanitize the areas to which they 

have access, such as offices, workshops and vehicles, and 

we have also set up disinfection stations equipped with 

disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer.

CHAPTER

At Braskem Idesa, we are committed to sustainability through a 
number of initiatives, such as the Earth Charter, which we joined 
in 2017. It is a declaration of ethical principles that form the basis 
for the creation of a fair, sustainable and peaceful global society 
that focuses on the transition to sustainable lifestyles and human 
development, implementing its recommendations into our day-
to-day operations. We support the principles and global alliance 
it proposes to help create a fair, sustainable and peaceful world.

MATERIALITY

In  keeping  with  our  commitment  to  sustainability, 

we  are  continuously  developing  projects  that  help 

mitigate  environmental 

impacts,  drive  social  and 

economic  development  within  communities,  create 

value and solutions for both our clients and the value 

chain, and, above all, continue being a benchmark for 

the  plastic  industry  through  good  ethical,  social  and 

environmental practices.

A  key  part  of  our  day-to-day  activities  is  our  Global 

Sustainable Development Policy, which underpins the 

way in which we interact with our surroundings and, as 

a result, we have published this report, which uses the 

same materiality as our previous report. 

Through this process, and as a result of our on-going 

dialog  with  our  stakeholders  and  an  internal  analysis, 

17 of the 26 material issues identified were taken into 

consideration. We used the Comprehensive option to 

share these in an accurate, balanced, clear, comparable, 

reliable and timely manner. 

The  results  outlined 

in  this  report  represent  our 

commitment  to  being  an  ethical,  valuable  and 

transparent  company,  which  is  why,  below,  we  have 

listed our material issues:

•  Water
•  Air
•  Customer Service
•  Biodiversity
•  Corruption
•  Financial Performance
•  Circular Economy

[102-12, 102-47, 103-1]

At Braskem Idesa, driving innovation and being at the 

cutting edge are part of our business DNA. Given the 

changes that have taken place in recent years through 

the  renewal  of  the  Sustainable  Development  Goals 

(SD), and in keeping with the new 2020-2030 Agenda, 

we  have  decided  to  focus  our  efforts  on  how  best  to 

contribute to achieving these goals. 

The first major change was to shift from 10 to 7 Macro 

Sustainable Development Goals, a process that involved 

more than 500 global leaders and Team Members from 

Braskem  Brazil,  United  States,  Europe  and  Braskem 
Idesa in Mexico to define these commitments.

—
130
—

From September 2020, these redefined commitments 

were included in our Global Sustainable Development 

Strategy  by  the  Board  of  Directors  as  the  result  of  a 

materiality study, a business risk management analysis 

covering  the  value  chain  and  society  in  general,  and 

the  consideration  of  the  elements  of  sustainable 

development: economic, social and environmental. 

We have reaffirmed our commitment to sustainability 

through  these  guidelines,  which  are  helping  to  create 

projects focusing on the Circular Economy and Carbon 

Neutrality  in  order  for  us,  in  conjunction  with  our 

stakeholders, to build a more sustainable future.

Our 

comprehensive 

sustainability 

strategy 

is 

aligned  with  the  UN’s  2030  Agenda,  the  Sustainable 

Development Goals (SDG) and the Paris Agreement on 

Climate Change.

Furthermore, in order to both underpin and consolidate our commitments, we are aligned with the Global Reporting 

Initiative  (GRI)  (a  guide  to  present  our  outstanding  results  and  impacts),  the  Sustainability Accounting  Standards 

Board (SASB – an index relating to our investors), and the Risk Rating issued by Sustainalytics, a ratings agency that

During 2021, there were no confirmed cases of 
corruption. A lack of knowledge surrounding the 
definition of the word “corruption” was identified, 
for which some reports with this classification were 
received; however, at the time of analyzing them, they 
were reclassified because they corresponded to other 
categories, such as Potential Conflicts of Interest, 
Complaints, Behavior, and Contract Compliance Issues.

Part of our environmental strategy during 2022 will focus on involving the value chain in the creation of measures that help 
mitigate climate change. Through our Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), we work alongside our business partners to create 
incentives for them to commit to protecting the environment.

Some of our major areas of action include:

• 

Identifying opportunities to decrease costs, emissions, and energy use through periodic assessments. 

•  Driving awareness campaigns to provide incentives for business partners to implement measures to mitigate their 

environmental footprint.

Discussion of long-term and 

short-term strategy or plan 

to manage Scope 1 emissions, 

emissions reduction targets, 

and an analysis of performance 

against those targets

N/A

1.  Short- and Long-Term Strategy Analysis:

As part of our strategy, we comply with all regulations issued by the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources

(SEMARNAT) and the Department of Energy (SENER), in addition to the Material and Energy Balance Methodology,

monitoring all emissions stemming from our operations.

We are also governed by a Global Development Policy that encompasses 7 Macro Sustainability goals, including climate

change, operational efficiency, and actions and goals to help mitigate, reduce or capture GHG.

The Greenhouse Gas Legal Framework we follow encompasses the following:

•  Climate Change Act, Regulations of the Climate Change Act for the National Emissions Registry (RENE), GHG Report for Annual 

Operating Cell (COA), GHG Calculation Methodologies, CO2 Emission Direct Measurement Methodology.

•  Annual GHG emissions reports and verification for the National Emissions Registry (RENE).

•  Emissions Trading System Program (SCE).

2.  Emission Reduction Goals

—
147
—

Based on the Climate Change Act, the overall contribution to reducing GHG emissions from the chemical and petrochemical 

industry stands at 5% by 2030.

As Braskem Idesa, our goal lies in: 1) Identifying projects to reduce, mitigate or capture CO2; 2) Driving energy efficiency in our 

operations; 3) Consolidating waste management; 4) Identifying renewable energies; 5) Participating in Emissions Trading; 6) 

Assessing the acquisition of an Energy Efficiency Certificate for the petrochemical complex. 

Additionally, Grupo Braskem has made a public global commitment through its operations in Brazil, the United States, Europe 

and Mexico to reduce GHG emissions by 15% before 2030, in addition to becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

3.  Analysis of results vs. goals

Regarding emissions by gas type in our operations, there was a decrease in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of the following 

actions: 

1) Equipment maintenance, the use of natural gas instead of ethane gas for energy generation, and operational efficiency 

stemming from the cutting-edge technology employed at the complex

We measure our air emissions by type of gas, considering NOx, SOx, VOC, CO2, CH4, HFC, PM and other categories such as Cr.

2) Emission reduction targets

3)Analysis of the results in relation to objectives

tributary recovery.

•  We carry out biannual monitoring of groundwater and surface water within the communities surrounding our plant.

•  We extract surface water from the Uxpanapa River, which is transported from the dam to our petrochemical plant through 

our pumping plant.

•  We clarify the water for its subsequent distribution and use, mainly to replace cooling water or to generate steam.

The water is subjected to a process of chlorination, clarification and filtration for its distribution and is mainly used to
replenish the cooling water system and for steam generation.

Verification Letter of the Braskem Idesa 2021 Integrated Report 

Annual Sustainability -ESG Report 2021

To Board of Directors of Braskem Idesa SAPI (Investment Promotion Corporation) and
Braskem Idesa Servicios S.A de C.V. :

We inform you that Timberlan Online Social Networks carried out a limited and
independent verification of a sample of contents of the GRI Standards and topics of the
Sustainability Reporting Standards Board (SASB), contained in the Annual Sustainability
Report - ESG 2021 of Braskem Idesa (SAPI) And Braskem Idesa Servicios S.A. of C.V.
(Braskem Idesa).

Responsibilities, criteria and scope:

The scope of our verification covered the results of "Braskem Idesa", corresponding to
the period from January 1st to December 31st, 2021.

Our mission is to issue impartial and objective opinions about the certainty, traceability
and reliability of a sample of GRI and SASB Contents published in the Annual
Sustainability Report ESG-2021. Our work considered as criteria: GRI Standards, in
accordance with the Essential option, the SASB “Chemical” standards, and the
International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, “Assurance Engagements
Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”.

“Braskem Idesa” is responsible for the preparation of the information contained in the
Annual Sustainability Report – ESG 2021, and that included in the scope of the
verification, which implies, but is not limited to: the selection process of material
topics, report of contents of the GRI Standards and SASB topics.

Among the activities carried out during the verification process are listed: validation of
information presented in previous reports, review of methodological compliance with the
aforementioned standards, verification of qualitative and quantitative data through visual,
documentary and public evidence and analysis of the quantitative data.

Therefore, we can conclude that during the review of the sample of GRI and SASB content
published in the Annual Sustainability Report - ESG 2021, we did not find any factor that makes
us think that the data does not comply with certainty, traceability and reliability. Likewise, we
did not identify any element that would lead us to consider that the methodological
requirements were not met.

An internal report of recommendations, exclusive to “Braskem Idesa”, is delivered separately,
containing the areas of opportunity detected.
