Sustainability and Climate Action
Vale SA emphasized its strategic approach to accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. The company's high-quality iron ore and critical minerals like nickel and copper are essential for building a new economy based on clean technologies and renewable energy. Vale's participation in the London Climate Action Week, represented by CEO Gustavo Pimenta, Interim Executive Vice President of Sustainability Camilla Lott, and Climate Change Director Rodrigo Lauria, underscored the company's commitment to collaborative efforts for concrete climate action.
Additionally, Vale Ventures, the company's Corporate Venture Capital initiative, is investing globally in startups that bring innovative and disruptive solutions to major challenges such as decarbonization, circularity, sustainability, and critical metals. An example is the investment in Electrified Thermal Solutions (ETS), a startup reinventing industrial heat generation by replacing fossil fuels with electricity from renewable sources. This technology, recognized at the Energy Summit Global 2025, has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors like mining and steel production.

This modern urban space is part of the Estrutura Pará program, a public policy initiative by the State Government aimed at improving the quality of life for Pará residents. Vale's participation in this project reinforces its 40-year commitment to the development of Pará.
In the realm of environmental conservation, Vale, in collaboration with the Vale Technological Institute and the Arara Azul Institute, is supporting efforts to map the local population of blue macaws in Canãa dos Carajás (PA), one of the regions with the highest occurrence of the species in the Amazon biome.
