Board of Directors
Vale's Board of Directors is dedicated to the Company's strategic agenda, overseeing, and supporting actions to position Vale as a leader in sustainable mining and a reference in value creation and sharing.
As stated in our Bylaws, the Board consists of 11-13 directors elected at the Annual General Meeting and 1 director elected by Vale employees (including 1 alternate). The Board has a mandatory majority of independent directors, a unified two-year term and a structure prepared for the prudent management of Vale.
The Board meets regularly, at least 8 times a year, and exceptionally when called by its Chairman, or in his absence, by the Vice Chairman, or by 1/3 (one third) of the Directors collectively. Decisions require a quorum representing the majority of members and are taken by majority vote.
The Board of Directors has internal regulations governing its functioning and the relationship between the Board of Directors and other corporate bodies, that can be access here.
The average profile of the Board includes experienced individuals with competencies appropriate to Vale's challenges (see more in the Member Selection Process, below). Gender, racial and cultural diversity contribute to diverse perspectives.

Fiscal Council
The Fiscal Council is a permanent and independent supervisory body, separate from the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, as required by Brazilian law. This body, guided by the principles of transparency, fairness and accountability, aims to contribute to the optimal performance of the organization.
The Fiscal Council, composed of 3 to 5 members, is responsible, in particular, for monitoring compliance and the fulfillment of statutory and legal obligations. It gives its opinion on the management report and the proposals of the relevant administrative bodies regarding changes in the share capital, the issuance of bonds or subscription bonuses, investment plans or budgets.
To find out more, access the Corporate Charter of the Fiscal Council.

Executive Committee
Executive Committee
The Board of Directors elects the President and Executive Vice Presidents for a three-year term, with the power to remove them at any time. According to Brazilian law, they may be resident or domiciled abroad, subject to the appointment of a representative resident in the country. They meet fortnightly, with the possibility of convening extraordinary meetings at the initiative of any of its members.
The Executive Committee is supported by five risk management advisory committees, which are:
1) operational risks;
2) geotechnical risks;
3) strategic, financial, and cyber risks;
4) compliance, institutional relations, and communication risks; and
5) sustainability risks.
