Include to Transform

Include to transform

Vale is undergoing a cultural transformation that will require contributions from a variety of perspectives, experiences, and repertoires. This journey will only be possible if we combine our efforts with a wide range of talents.

We believe that expanding diversity and promoting inclusion are ethical imperatives essential to a sustainable and people-oriented organization. We strive to be a company that is increasingly inclusive, with transparent, open dialogue, in which people are respected and can take pride in being who they are. A place for all!

Affinity Groups

We believe in the importance of debate, in the sharing of information and ideas. For this reason, affinity groups, formed voluntarily by employees, were created to support the common causes and objectives connected to Vale's positioning on Inclusion and Diversity.

Ethno-Racial Equality

Gender

LGBTQIA+

Our objective is to connect women to inspire, develop and support one another in the challenges and dilemmas faced during our professional journey. We promote different internal actions creating spaces for dialogue, raising leadership awareness, and reflecting on unconscious biases, thereby contributing to the company's cultural transformation.

Flavia Souza, Women's Affinity Group

Diversity and inclusion are not a point of arrival, but a constant path that must be walked; we've started our journey towards a more inclusive environment and the creation of the Ethno-Racial Equality Affinity Group was a very important step. But for this group to be successful, it is essential that we unite in a single effort to make our voice echo throughout the entire company, Brazil and the world. To become a single voice consolidating ethnic and racial equality.

Carolina Nascimento,
Ethno-Racial Equality Affinity Group

Valuing diversity and inclusion is bringing about real change. Vale is working on the pillar of education, its targets and enhancing the consequence management system. The company places people at the centre of decisions and discourse and this was fundamental. We now have a voice through the affinity groups that allows us to bring harmony to HR's decisions.

Willer Junior, LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group

Mining By Women

Hear the stories of women that help to build a better Vale each day in Brazil and the countries in which we operate. The Mining By Women web series shows their trajectories, routines and challenges to represent the women that work in Vale's diverse departments. Our characters open up new paths and inspire more and more women to build a career in mining, a predominantly male sector, to reinforce the fact that a woman's place is any place.
