Vale has been actively participating in COP conferences, reaffirming its commitment to contributing to a low-carbon economy through fair and inclusive mining practices that integrate environmental protection and restoration with the well-being of people, communities, and economic development.
COP 30 will mark a historic milestone: for the first time, the conference will be held in the Amazon, where Vale has operated for over 40 years, combining responsible mining with forest conservation and support for local communities.
The company’s engagement in the COP 30 agenda is structured around three main pillars: Forests/Biodiversity, Decarbonization/Energy Transition, and Sociocultural aspects.
Biodiversity
For over 40 years, Vale has operated in the Amazon with a focus on nature-based solutions. The company protects 800,000 hectares within the Carajás Mosaic (Pará), in partnership with ICMBio, and promotes initiatives that combine science, ecological restoration, and local income generation.
Vale is committed to restoring 100,000 hectares and protecting an additional 400,000 hectares by 2030, beyond its operational boundaries.
Inclusive Restoration: In partnership with ICMBio and the Vale Natural Reserve, Vale is working to restore degraded areas within federal conservation units at scale, with active participation from local communities.
Bioeconomy: through Fundo Vale and a network of partnerships, we invest in the bioeconomy in various ways, such as supporting businesses that help preserve or restore the forest. We have been strengthening value chains in protected areas and supporting innovative business models that add value and attract investment to agroforestry products.
During COP30, the Vale Technological Institute (ITV) will host the Biodiversity and Climate Hub, featuring debates, panels, and scientific presentations on conservation and socio-biodiversity, in partnership with Abema.
C.A.S.E. – Climate Action Solutions & Engagement: A private sector initiative bringing together companies such as Vale, Natura, Nestlé, Itaú, and Marcopolo to connect impactful and scalable projects in Forests/Bioeconomy and Energy Transition.
Presença na COP 30
Led by Vale,CEBDS, and IBRAM, the Coalition brings together 14 organizations and companies with proposals to reduce emissions from Brazil’s mining sector by up to 90% by 2050 and support global electrification.
The group’s report highlights Brazil’s strategic role in the steel value chain and sustainable mining.
Industrial Innovation: Partnerships with steelmakers to develop decarbonization solutions, such as briquettes—which reduce blast furnace emissions by up to 10%—and Green Steel Mega Hubs. Learn more at Strategy and Management for Decarbonization – Vale.
Climate Targets: Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030, reach net zero emissions by 2050, and cut Scope 3 emissions by 15% by 2035.
Renewable sources: since 2023, our energy consumption in Brazil has been sourced entirely from renewable sources.
Testing new biofuels: we have established partnerships to develop ethanol/diesel biofuel engines for off-road trucks and locomotives. We are also testing increased biodiesel blends in truck fuels.
Vale believes in a just transition that embraces social inclusion and cultural appreciation. At COP30, the company will highlight initiatives that contribute to reducing extreme poverty, strengthening communities, and expanding access to culture in the Amazon region.
Social goal: support 500,000 people in overcoming extreme poverty by 2030. To date, over 50,000 individuals have already benefited across five Brazilian states.
Education and Culture: Through the Vale Cultural Institute, the company sponsors and manages free, public cultural spaces such as the Casa da Cultura in Canaã dos Carajás and the Vale Maranhão Cultural Center, offering exhibitions, events, and educational programs.
