Vale Brazil

We started our operations in 1942, in Itabira, Minas Gerais. Since then, we have come a long way to become one of the largest mining companies in the world. In Brazil, we operate not only in the mining sector, but also in logistics –with railways and ports – in the generation of energy to supply part of the operational demand, in the steel industry and in various social, cultural and environmental projects through the Vale Cultural Institute, the Vale Foundation, the Vale Fund, the Vale Institute of Technology, among others.

In addition to operations

One of our values is to “make it happen” and we know that this is not limited to our spaces. For this reason, we are constantly investing in the communities in which we operate, contributing to various topics.

One of our biggest commitments is to the Amazon rainforest, where we have been helping to preserve around 800,000 hectares for 30 years.

In cultural terms, we support projects spread throughout Brazil through the Vale Cultural Institute, such as Vale Música – which has existed for more than two decades – and we contribute to the management of museums and cultural spaces.

With the Vale Foundation, we contribute to the social development of the territories where we operate, by supporting education, promoting basic health, assuring rights and promoting social business transactions.

Thus, we improve life and transform the future. Together.
