“Sustainability is the DNA of the company,” says Jansen. “Our purpose is to come up with sustainable solutions for chemicals and plastics to improve the lives of people. We look at how you can sustainably source your raw materials to make sure that what we buy is sustainably sourced based on two pillars: one is compliance with our policies and regulations, and the second is towards excellence to make sure we have continuous improvement.”
“Our society uses plastics as the basis of many products,” “Having alternative solutions that lessen the carbon footprint, making things better for our society is groundbreaking.
Braskem is doing great work.”
