Communication and engagement with the communities we interact with are a core part of our social initiatives. In addition to teams dedicated to community engagement, we also provide reporting and grievance channels as part of our global grievance management system. These channels can be accessed by all stakeholders for communication or to request feedback.

As part of our Ethics & Compliance Program, Vale provides a Whistleblower Channel that can be used by anyone, both inside and outside the company, to report potential violations of our Code of Conduct. The Whistleblower Channel is set up to ensure that all reports are independently investigated. All information is handled confidentially. We commit to ensure that there will be no intimidation or retaliation against the whistleblower under any circumstances.

Note 2: Starting in 2023, the phone contact methods for our Alô Ferrovias and Community Relations channels have been integrated into Alô Vale.

Community surveys
To enhance communication with the communities where we operate, in addition to our conventional communication channels, in 2022 we conducted our first “Community Perception Survey” covering the areas where we operate in Brazil.
The purpose of the survey was to gauge communities’ perception of Vale, understand their main social, economic, and environmental needs, inform initiatives to address these needs, and assess communities’ perceptions and level of trust.
