Far beyond excellence in mining activity, Vale seeks to leave a positive legacy for future generations.
Vale Foundation is a partner of the company in its mission to “transform natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development”.
With 50 years of existence, Vale Foundation seeks to leave a positive legacy in our territories, leveraging the opportunities provided by the economic growth generated by mining activities and enable corporate social investment.
