We contribute and synergize with the government, communities, employees and contractors in our operating areas. We mobilize Vale’s resources to create and walk hand in hand. Together, for a better future.

Our social programs are implemented for essential sectors, namely education, health, real income levels, economic independence, socio-culture, social environment, community institutions, and infrastructure development. We summarize the series of social programs in the Community Development and Empowerment (Pengembangan dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat/PPM) programs. These PPM programs are implemented through the Development of Independent Rural Areas (Pengembangan Kawasan Pedesaan Mandiri/PKPM).

PPM incorporates inputs from and is implemented in collaboration with stakeholders, aiming for our programs to be aligned with the District Development Priority Plan. Formally, prior to program implementation, we sign a memorandum of cooperation with the local government. Through this collaboration, our social programs contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs.
