One of the pillars of our business strategy is financial health and discipline in capital allocation, seeking to maintain a strong level of liquidity and positive cash generation, even in petrochemical industry downturns. From there, we continually seek to deliver value to our shareholders.
Corporate Leverage: To reinforce our commitment to our financial position and cost discipline, we have implemented several measures to reduce our corporate leverage, with the objective of returning to the level of investment-grade risk. Since the second quarter of 2020, we have been able to significantly reduce our leverage, with the ratio improving from 7.1x to 2.9x by the end of 2020.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE
We believe that governance and compliance go beyond complying with regulatory rules - it is a way of maintaining our business environment that is more transparent, safe and predictable, with the purpose of ensuring value generation today and in the future. All the while, we safeguard the rights of all our shareholders and are able to satisfy the interests of all other stakeholders.
CFO Principles
In 2020, Braskem, as a member of the CFOs Task Force, an initiative promoted by the UN Global Pact, committed to implementing the CFOs Principles for the integration of sustainable development goals (“SDG”) in the financial and investment management of the Company.
