Bracell provides health and dental plans for all employees and their dependents, with national coverage. We also offer discounts in drugstore chains, gyms, educational institutions, and partnerships with organizations such as the Industrial Social Service (SESI), providing access to sports and leisure activities.

Bracell’s health management approach is centered on promoting well-being and preventing illness, both in the workplace and in employees’ daily lives. We also provide both individual and group counseling on topics such as periodic checkups, maintaining a healthy diet and the importance of exercising regularly. Key initiatives include:
