Vale implements GISTM at its tailing’s storage facilities

Fulfilling the commitment assumed with the ICMM, with society and its employees, Vale has implemented GISTM in 48 of its 50 tailings storage facilities (TSFs), 35 of which are in the Ferrous business unit in Brazil and 13 in the Base Metals business unit (11 in Canada and 2 in Brazil). The two remaining Ferrous TSFs in Brazil have a lower consequence classification and it will comply with the standard by August 2025, following the criteria of the Conformance Protocols defined by ICMM. The 48 compliant TSFs meet the GISTM requirements, and some of them have action plans in place according to the Conformance Protocols.
