The first edition of Braskem Week, held from October 05 to 07, had almost 10,000 visitors for the event. The main focus of the trade show was on presenting sustainable and innovative Braskem solutions in chemicals and plastics to different sectors, such as agribusiness, packaging, civil construction, automotive, among others.

Braskem Week was held on a fully digital format platform (www.braskemweek.com.br) in three languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish), simulating a traditional trade show environment, consisting of booths with various content and space for individual interaction, carried out by experts from the company's technical and commercial areas. Visitors to the event were able to browse through the Braskem Week spaces on their own, as if they were in-person in a trade show.

In addition, more than 3,000 participants could follow live presentations on various topics that involve plastics, chemicals and society, among them circular economy, design for packaging circularity, sustainable development, diversity in companies, renewable solutions and Sanitation Legal Landmark.

"Braskem Week was designed as an opportunity to foster synergy among the various business segments where we operate, while showing all our capacity for developing innovative, sustainable and customized solutions according to our clients' requirements", says Roberto Simões, Braskem CEO.

According to Edison Terra, Vice-President Olefins and Polyolefins at Braskem South America, event results exceeded expectations. "It was a success.
