Braskem Requested the National Mining Agency (ANM) to Cease Activities at the Salt Mine in Maceió

Braskem, active in the petrochemical and chemical sector, presented to the National Mining Agency (ANM) the plan for closing the salt mine, including filling some additional salt wells with solid material in Maceió, in the state of Alagoas. Implementing these measures would require around R$ 3 billion in costs and expenses.

In the documents submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the company noted that it was already taking steps to fill four salt wells with solid materials, a process that would take three years, requiring the suspension of routine operations and monitoring of other salt wells.

Braskem emphasized that these actions are defined based on recommendations from independent bodies and nationally and internationally renowned experts, and were shared with the ANM.
