“Sustainability is totally embeded in our culture, in the way we do business, across our organization, throughout our daily operations. We will continue to invest in social environmental programs that we strategically selected this year. Our efforts are paying off: we are recognized by international bodies with some awards. We are ranked in the top 40 companies by the World Corporate Human Rights Benchmark 2018. Also, for seven years in a row, we are listed in the UN Global Compact Lead as the only mining company and just recently we were also listed by the Brazilian Stock Exchange Sustainability Index 2019. We are in the right track to deliver the promise made here.”

“We are leading the quality game. How did we get there? Essentially there are two things we did: invested in our competitive advantages - which are Carajás and the ability to make high quality pellet feed in the Southeastern System. And the second thing we did: we consolidated and implemented our differentiation strategy. Supported by flight to quality we were able to differentiate ourselves.”

“When it comes to competitiveness we have another US$ 2 billion just based on things that already exist, such as S11D remaining ramp up, the freight cost reduction, the matrix cost management program, digital initiatives and alike. In iron ore alone, we’ll have close to US$ 3 billion of incremental EBITDA in the next five years.”
