The Climate Change and Adaptation Plan developed by Braskem indicated water scarcity as the primary potential risk for the company's operations. Using DEVICE, the company estimated an internal price on water and the costs to invest in alternatives such as water reuse, desalination, among other, considering future water scarcity scenarios leading to restrictions on the water withdraw the permit.
