    At Vale, concern for the environment is present in all our projects and operations around the world.

    However, we recognize that the nature of our activities may cause significant environmental impacts, so we invest in technologies, research and actions to manage risks and minimize the socio-environmental impacts of our operations in the locations where we operate, as well as establishing protocols and policies that aimed at recovering and protecting biodiversity, reducing pollutant emissions and improving safety where we operate. In addition, our priority is to carry out actions aimed at recovering the area affected by the collapse of Dam B1, in Brumadinho.

    Biodiversity

    The transformation we want is directly linked to the preservation of biodiversity.

    For this reason, we have developed initiatives aimed at research and the continuous improvement of environmental performance. As a result, we seek better results for our business, for people and for the planet.

    Mine closure 

    The actions to close a mining enterprise must consider several legal, environmental and social attributes relevant to the process, in addition to economic issues. 

    The integrated and systemic planning of the stages that make up the life cycle of the mine favors the optimization of processes and the management of their risks. In order to ensure the success of these actions, Vale establishes an integrated planning through a multidisciplinary team.
