We are committed to putting life as the top priority over mere material accomplishments.

We ensure employees are constantly learning and growing. We believe Vale's growth is linked to the growth of the people who help build our business daily. See here for Our Worker Policy.

Our Commitment

Since our establishment, we have been committed to prioritizing the involvement of local, regional and national workers in our operations and business activities, including in the growth projects we carry out. The involvement of our local, regional and national workers is in line with the Principles in the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Sustainable Development Framework.

We allocate employees according to the needs of operational activities and other supporting activities. Based on the workplace, our employees are spread across the Jakarta Head Office, Makassar Representative Office, the company's operational center in Sorowako, as well as in the growth project areas in the Bahodopi Block and Pomalaa Block areas.

We have a Diversity and Inclusion Charter which contains the company's five commitments to diversity and inclusiveness.

We also comply with labor regulations regarding the Collective Labor Agreement (PKB) which was drawn up and mutually agreed upon on 23 February 2022 by the company and employees. The formulation and negotiation of the 19th PKB involved three labor unions at PT Vale, namely the Energy, Mining, Oil, Gas and General Chemical Workers Union (SPKEP), the United Vale Indonesia Workers Union (SPBVI), and the Mining and Energy Federation - All Indonesian Confederation of Trade Unions (FPE-KSBSI).

For PT Vale, worker welfare and career development are the main aspects of the company's business management, without neglecting the safety and health of its employees.

Career Development Opportunity

We believe that employee competence is directly proportional to every company's best achievement. The Company always opens wide opportunities for every employee and contractor in developing their career, taking into account the results of the performance appraisal conducted for all (100%) employees.

Employee competency training and development is managed by the People & Culture Department, and is carried out according to the company's needs and development plans by involving superiors and all employees. We improve employee competency through various training programs, coaching, mentoring and on-the-job training.

We have enrolled several employees in the Engineering Education Study Program (PPI) at several universities including Hasanudin University. PT Vale facilitates and encourages these employees to take the Professional Engineer Certification (SIP) and Engineer Registration Certificate conducted by the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII). PT Vale has also established the Sorowako Technical Academy which has graduated 1,516 people.

In addition to competency development, PT Vale has also gradually provided managerial capability improvements, particularly for local talents. In 2022, we have provided training to supervisors and local talents to advance to managerial level. Supervisor training has been held in five batches throughout 2022 and were attended by 100 supervisors.
