    2030 Commitments

    To effectively integrate sustainability into our business management practices, we have established a set of commitments that inform our investment priorities and decision-making.
    These short, medium, and long-term goals are supported by structured governance, budgeting, and management practices, all aimed at leaving a positive legacy for both society and the environment. 
    They also align with significant global challenges, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda and the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. ​

    Progress on ESG Gap Action Plan 

    Vale has reviewed and analyzed the underlying methodologies used by the leading providers of ESG disclosures and has identified a number of gaps from best practice. Based on this review, we have developed an action plan describing these gaps and establishing initiatives to align our management approach and processes with best practices as recognized in our industry and by society. ​ 

    ​It It is important to note that the C-level is fully engaged in the initiative, as the ESG action plan to close these gaps has become one of our 2030 commitments and is part of the long-term compensation of executives. 

    By the end of 2023, we have closed 57 of the 63 mapped gaps, or 90% of the action plan. This has resulted in significant improvements within the company, including:   

    • Enhanced transparency around executive compensation and performance targets; ​ 

    • Corporate governance improvements including a newly introduced Audit and Nomination Committee and amendments to our bylaws aimed at enhancing the efficiency and independence of the Board of Directors; ​ 

    • Strengthened management processes and alignment with best practices, including implementation of specific policies on dam management, water resources, waste, and the Vale Management Model (VPS); ​ 

    • Climate change scenario modeling to further refine our climate strategy; ​ 

    • Proactive engagement with communities in support of our goal to build long-term relationships and leave a legacy for society, and our social ambition to support the development of self-sufficient communities that are actively engaged around issues relevant to humanity and embrace responsible mining. ​ 

    In addition, our gaps are continually reassessed based on investor feedback and new reports from key ESG stakeholders to evolve our commitments. In the coming years, we will continue to increase this level of engagement and strive for improvement.
