Comunidade Vale do Sol – Nova Lima

Characterization of the Community

Activities of Instituto Cresce, supported by Vale since 2017. ​ ​

The Vale do Sol community is located 3 km from Tamanduá Mine and 7 km from Capitão do Mato Mine and is the most affected by the road transportation of ore and overburden between the mines of Tamanduá and Capitão do Mato (Vargem Grande Complex) and Capão Xavier (Paraopeba Complex). Between January and August 2020, an average of 608 trips were made per day, totaling 2 million tons of material.

Several actions have been articulated with the community and developed in the territory. These are activities that promote local development, improvements in infrastructure, offset and mitigation of impacts and actions to preserve the environment. Besides that, 23 people were involved in the participatory diagnosis process.

Constitution of a Representative Group

The dialogue with the community takes place through systematic visits to the community, meetings of the Environmental Education Program and meetings of the Social Committee made up by focal points of the neighborhood. The group consists of representatives from APREVS (Vale do Sol Owners Association), from the public agencies of the municipality, residents in general, from the managers of the Cresce Institute (non-governmental organization active in the territory, which also work in environmental forums in the region), Vale and other large and medium-sized companies present on the site. The companies Cedro Mineração (which sells its material by road transportation), Via040 concessionaire and the network of Mater Dei Hospitals are in the territory and participate in negotiations related to Vale do Sol.

Development and Validation of the Relationship Plan

The Social Investment and Relationship Plan was built based on dialogue with the community, taking as a reference the meetings of the Social Committee and notes made regarding the operational impacts in the territory. Other activities that had been in progress since the previous years were maintained in 2020.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, meetings have taken place through online meetings.

Approximately 15 local leaderships are involved in each meeting of Social Committee.

Plan Implementation

Ilha do Frade Community - Vitória ES

Participatory Diagnosis

Noble neighborhood, occupied by luxurious mansions and residences, with small strips of sand transformed into beaches and rocks.

The socioeconomic profile of the residents, associated with the characteristics of the local geography, makes the process of dialogue with the community quite challenging. On the other hand, considering Vale's experience in environmental conservation and education initiatives, there is a great potential to contribute to the main local challenges as these are the main actions raised by the community.

The Island, which is part of the APA Baía das Tartarugas, combines the marine and coastal wealth with the problems arising from the inappropriate uses of users who frequent its beaches and surroundings.

The community is very articulate, politically as well, and has environmentally engaged residents and demands for environmental investment focused on conservation.

Moreover, air and sea pollution are problems highlighted by residents.

Characterization of the Community

The participatory mapping with the community considered different groups and playful listening methodologies on local opportunities and challenges, related to Vale's social impacts or not.

4 meetings were held, including children (5 to 11 years old); Young people (12 to 18 years old); local workers and adults (from 19 years old ).

In all those meetings, in order to involve participants, the community map was used as a reference and the METAPLAN methodology for visualizing and moderating interactions and contributions. With children, demands were also represented through drawing and, with young people, lego.

The process was very rich and made possible an important social engagement. Approximately 60 people were involved in the participatory diagnosis process.

Constitution of Representative Group

The representative group was made up of men and women of different age groups, religion and professional activity.

This representation was constituted mainly by officers of the Community Association and engaged residents.

Social participation, the basis of the entire process of preparing the plan, will also be an important pillar for its implementation and management and will also include children and adolescents, as well as worker participation.

Development and Validation of the Relationship Plan

Two meetings were held to prioritize and validate the plan together with the community, using participatory techniques.

The main and historic demand of the community is in the reduction of air pollution (either by the aspect of dirt or by the aspect of health).

Within the participatory mapping process recently developed, the main prioritized local demands were:

• 1) Restinga recovery and protection
• 2) Awareness of selective collection and proper disposal of waste

The prioritized initiatives were designed to involve different age groups.

Approximate 10 people involved in the prioritization process

Plan Implementation

Several agendas of joint planning for prioritized initiatives and engagement partner mapping took place. The projects are currently being assessed by the company's corporate integrity.

Follow-up and Monitoring of the Plan

During participatory planning, a survey was performed with each target audience, with a score from 0 to 10 for the meeting.

The general average score of assessment was 9,3.

The General Image Index of the Vox Sustainability Survey is also recorded, performed in 2019, which obtained 43%.

At the time of the pandemic, constant contact to monitor the actions of the plan has been maintained primarily through virtual interactions. In 2020 (so far) 49 interactions were recorded, including field visits in the community, telephone contacts and meeting schedules.

Aparecida Community - Cariacica ES

Characterization of the Community

Aparecida is an impoverished community with problems since the establishment of the neighborhood, in the precariousness of its constructions.

The absence of a sewage system stands out with plumbing directed to the rain drainage of the Vitória to Minas Railway. There are complaints about the situation of the railway fence, which is vandalized, with missing tracks and garbage disposal in the company's area. The community complains about Beira Linha Street, which is very narrow and has no investment from the Municipality.

It is a united community, which is proud of its residents and its history. Despite religious diversity, there is a custom of events involving the entire Christian audience. They have been working collectively to build shelters at bus stops. Around 30 people were involved in the participatory diagnosis process.

Constitution of RepresentativeGroup

We seek to mobilize the community through formal and informal leadership. We won a diverse group of men and women, the elderly, adults and young people.

Development and Validation of the Relationship Plan

Three meetings were held in 2019 to elaborate, prioritize and validate the plan together with the community, using participatory techniques such as Mapa Falado and the Metaplan panel.

The main prioritized and committed local demands for execution in 2020 were:

• 1. Renovation of the Community Movement headquarters
• 2. Professional Training

In addition, Vale carried out actions in 2019 that were mentioned in the meetings, but not prioritized:

• Visit to Vale
• Arte no Muro
• Na Trilha dos Valores Project
• Quilombinho Project
• Bullying workshop for educators

94 participations during the 3 meetings

Plan Implementation

Among the actions carried out in 2019, Arte no Muro stands out, a project to enhance railroad fences in order to disseminate culture and safety in the community.

The collective construction in search of the history of the community that portrayed the tracks panel valued the place.

The projects planned for 2020 suffered from the interruption of collective activities due to the Pandemic. However, telephone contact with participants was maintained, reinforcing the company's commitment.

In October 2020, the Instituições do Futuro project was started, which will work with the integration of the group, regularization of the Community Movement, as well as the elaboration of the headquarters renovation project. The renovation itself will be carried out in 2021, through the transfer of funds.

The mapping of the professional training course will start in Nov/2020, however, its execution will only be carried out in the following year.

Plan Monitoring

At the end of the participatory process, in 2019, an evaluation was carried out with the participants, where 78% of the respondents liked the proposals presented by the company for the issues raised.

Vale’s General Image Index pointed out by the Vox Sustainability Survey, achieved the percentage of 45.6% favorability in this community.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been constant contact with the leaders by phone and WhatsApp.

Maria Ortiz Community – Colatina ES

Characterization of the Community

Maria Ortiz is a small fishing village, in the rural area of Colatina and 24km from the urban center (close to BR 259). The community is on the banks of Rio Doce and the Vitória Minas Railway (VMR). Around 60 families live in the village.

The community needs to deal with the challenge of a lack of urban infrastructure - difficult access to the internet, telephony, water, sewage, basic services, lack of paving and few public transport options. With regard to public facilities, the location has a health unit and an elementary school I. Trade on site is restricted to a grocery store and a bar.

The economic dynamics of the location is based on fishing and with the impacts of the Samarco dam rupture in 2015 in Rio Doce, a large part of the population receives compensation from Renova Foundation.

There are also strong claims from Vale on local infrastructure issues. As it is an irregularly occupied area, the residents charge the company for regularizing the area and paving the access street.

Participatory Diagnosis

The participatory mapping with the community considered a considerable group of residents, which reflected on the main challenges for the community and how a partnership between the community can support local development.

A total of three meetings were held: the first with the aim of deepening knowledge of the location, the second to prioritize the proposed actions and the third to present the participatory action plan.

To involve participants and promote social participation, the community map was used as a reference and the METAPLAN methodology for visualizing and moderating interactions and contributions. Around 50 residents attended the cycle of meetings.

Development and Validation of the Relationship Plan

Within the cycle of meetings in Maria Ortiz, the action plan was prioritized and validated, based on participatory techniques and processes.

The main and historical demand of the community directed to Vale refers to the regularization of the community area and the paving of the access road.

In the participatory process Vale + Comunidade, the following actions were prioritized:

• Construction of a multisport court
• Installation of a public gym

The prioritized initiatives were designed to enable spaces for coexistence, leisure and physical activities that did not exist in the community.

Constitution of Representative Group

The representative group consisted of community residents (men, women and youth) who volunteered to be part of the participatory commission.

The main role of this commission is to monitor the actions developed in the plan, support the deliberative processes and give visibility to the actions of the other residents.

Social participation, the basis of the entire process of preparing the plan, will also be an important pillar for its implementation and management and will also include children and adolescents.

Plan Implementation

Art on the wall - Before and after​ ​

In 2019, two relationship actions were carried out with a focus on leisure activities to open the relationship plan.

In October 2020, the process for the court and popular academy started to count on the technical support of the company Cidade Quintal, for the definition of the Executive project of the Court and Public Gym.

As of November 2020, the community will be offered physical activities until the completion of the works of the court and public gym.

Plan Monitoring

At the end of the participatory process, Vale carried out an evaluation of the process with participants, where 90% of the participants demonstrated that they were satisfied with the process carried out.

In 2019, Vale's General Image Index pointed out by the Vox Sustainability Survey reached 48.3% in favorability.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been constant contact with the leaders by phone and WhatsApp. The lack of internet infrastructure in the locality does not allow virtual interactions.

Respecting WHO guidelines and municipal and state decrees, Vale resumed the actions of the relationship plan with communities in the locality from October 2020.

Centro e São Sebastião Community – Resplendor MG

Characterization of the Community

The two communities are very close and make it possible to develop a Community Relationship Plan together. The boundary between one neighborhood and another is almost imperceptible. São Sebastião residents access Centro to carry out commercial activities, go to the doctor, use leisure spaces, among others.

The proximity of the railway increases the perception of impacts. There are several records of requests related to obstructions at level crossings, complaints about noise, criticisms about fence walls and weeding. The residents of these locations are very participatory and aware of VALE's rights and duties.

The reputation survey carried out by Vox Populi in the last year revealed better numbers than previous years in the Centro neighborhood, but in the São Sebastião neighborhood the numbers represent a resilient community in the face of VALE's actions and dissatisfied with the impacts of the railway operation. The community has already been responsible for railroad outages and uses the track as a constant target of threats.

Participatory Diagnosis

The participatory mapping with the community considered different groups and was done through mapa falado. The methodology enabled the visualization of community demands, Vale's opportunities for action and clarifications regarding the roles and responsibilities of the company and the public authorities.

In all, 7 meetings were held. The first three were important to define and prioritize community demands within a work plan. The process allowed the engagement of the main stakeholders, social participation and the revitalization of the Orla Norte square, with the advent of Vale Cuidar.

This first delivery was the result of a community demand mapped at the first meeting and concluded in December 2019.

Around 60 people were involved in the participatory diagnosis process.

Constitution of a Representative Group

The representative group consists of men and women of different age groups, representatives of social institutions, associations and residents of the two communities. This representation was created in order to identify new stakeholders. The mapping brought leaders that added even more to the already established group.

The community leaders of these two communities have always had a strong bond with the government. It was common to observe city councilors and secretaries, participating in the dynamics and interfering in the community's listening process. With the relationship plan we were able to expand the network and insert new actors in community discussions, significantly disconnecting the participation of public agents.

Development and Validation of the Relationship Plan

Three meetings were held, the first to map the demands and 2 more meetings to prioritize the demands and validate the plan together with the community. The main demand of the community was support to projects related to sports for children and adolescents

Within the participatory mapping process carried out, the main prioritized local demands were:

• Support for sports-related projects for children and adolescents;
• Revitalization of public space for community leisure;
• Execution of works on the fence wall of the Vitória Minas Railway;
• Realization of Arte no Muro after the construction/renovation of the walls.

Plan Implementation

The instituted plan was monitored by the institutions that develop projects for children and adolescents in the Municipal Councils for Children and Adolescents, with discussions on the construction of the acoustic fence wall in the Centro and São Sebastião neighborhoods and with the execution of Vale Cuidar and consequently, the revitalization of Orla Norte Square.

The start of the monitoring of projects developed through the Childhood and Adolescence Fund by the Municipal Councils for Children and Adolescents is scheduled for November 2020.
