- Economic, Social & Environmental Responsibility
- We acknowledge the need for these dimensions to be constantly in balance, promoting development and ensuring sustainability.
- Ethics and Transparency
- Our behaviour as an organisation, by acting with integrity, abiding by the law, moral principles and behavioural covenants established and accepted by society and by clearly communicating our policies and results.
- Excellence in Performance
- The quest for continuous improvement and process control, using performance indicators acknowledged as best practice, promoting a high-performance culture and ensuring that long-lasting competitive advantages are obtained and sustained
- Entrepreneurship
- Our determined mindset as an organisation that rapidly and unrelentingly seeks new opportunities and innovative solutions in the face of shifting challenges and needs, ensuring execution of strategies that contribute to Vale’s growth.
- Respect for Diversity
- Acknowledging one another as equals, respecting differences and promoting competitive inclusion – and recognising differences as opportunities for integration and growth.
- Proud to "Be Vale"
- The result of all of these values. We behave as owners of the business, in the relentless quest to achieve our defined goals, sharing and celebrating results and strengthening relationships. We are proud to build something that will make a difference. This is why we are proud to be Vale – all of us, management and other employees of the company.
