Strategic Pillars 

We have five strategic pillars that guide the conduct of our business: 

New pact with society

We seek to positively impact society, going beyond taxes, social projects and reparations in Brumadinho. We want to be facilitators of development in the areas where we operate, promoting a safer and more sustainable mining.

Safety and operational excellence

Discipline in capital allocation

Keep the focus on creating value and security of our assets, investing in the sustainability of production, in the protection and in the increase of margins.

Learn together to overcome dilemmas and make the best decisions ethically and responsibly:

this is the purpose of our Code of Conduct. In the document, we present values ​​and principles that must be followed by everyone who works at Vale or acts legally on our behalf. 

In addition to a governance structure that ensures transparency in our positions and decisions, we also have a  Whistleblower Channel. Through it, anyone can make a report safely and confidentially. 

Relationship with the Government

Mining is responsible for large private investments in Brazil and other parts of the world. Therefore, we keep a continuous dialogue with government agencies, preferably through institutions and class entities.  

We aim to proactively participate in the formulation of public policies, and to understand our points of view, for the establishment or maintenance of a favorable environment for the mining industry. 

We are partners with international and regional organizations and participate in discussions on environmental, commercial, energy and sustainable development policies, among others.
