    We are here to improve life and transform the future. Together.

    This is the purpose that has guided our daily work to transform the mining industry and be part of building a new tomorrow. After all, Vale knows that its role goes far beyond mining. 

    Sustainability is one of the levers of our business.

    It is part of the way we act to reach our purpose. We think, dialogue, design and build, together, a future for mining and for the planet, while taking care of the present. 

    We Transform Together.

    Dams

    Vale maintains the management of its dams in line with the best and most rigorous international practices, integrated with society's movements and updated with respect to advances in legislation.
