In Rio de Janeiro, we operate the Portos Sul complex, on Costa Verde region of Rio de Janeiro and host our company headquarters. Comprising terminals for the loading of iron ore, the site has the capacity to ship more than 75 million tonnes per year.

The structure also includes the Ilha Guaíba Terminal (TIG) and the Terminal of Companhia Portuária Baía de Sepetiba (CPBS), in addition to the operation of the wagon dumper at Ternium, located in the Santa Cruz neighborhood, West Zone of the capital of Rio de Janeiro.

In the surroundings of operating unit, we also carry out actions that seek to preserve the environment . One of them is the Fazenda Marinha project, which monitors environmental quality indicators in Sepetiba Bay. Furthermore, we operate initiatives focused on valuing local culture and promoting educational and reading encouragement actions.

Vale just one message away!

At Vale, we value every opinion, suggestion, compliment or criticism, because we know that these dialogues are fundamental to our growth in partnership with the communities where we operate. That's why we work to make everyone feel welcome and safe to communicate with us, with the certainty that their voices will always be heard and taken seriously.

With Vale + Comunidade, we've created a space to bring together all the ways you can get in touch with us. Whether it's to discuss local issues, suggest improvements, or resolve doubts, we have a series of dedicated channels to serve you with attention and respect.

In addition, we will soon be launching “Talk to Vale”, an initiative that brings our listening channels to you, through door-to-door visits in local communities. Our promoters, identified with campaign materials, will be ready to answer your questions, always with respect, empathy and information.

Winds of citizenship

This is one of the highlights of this edition, the Grael Project, which has been developing educational activities related to water sports for children and young people in socially vulnerable situations in Mangaratiba. Furthermore, we have invested in the public health network through an important support to improve the services provided to the community. New furniture, equipment and training for the professionals were delivered through the Vale Foundation's Ciclo Saúde (Health Cycle). We also invested in cultural projects, such as the Itaguaí Cultural Activation project, which has already benefited more than 15,000 students from public schools in the municipality.
