Vale participates in the Global Reporting Initiative and publishes its “Sustainability Report” on an annual basis, aiming to demonstrate its compliance with the international principles of social and environmental responsibilities of which it is a signatory, namely the UN Global Compact and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM). Furthermore, last year, it was included in the Bovespa Corporate Sustainability Index. In response to these indicators, we will show the other side of the story – the one hidden by the company.
Since 2010, the International Movement of People Affected by Vale has been sharing experiences and formulating strategies for collective action to confront public authorities and the corporation itself in defence of the environment, workers and the affected communities. The present Vale 2012 Unsustainability Report is the result of the experiences, reports, denunciations and studies that have been gathered, which demonstrate the socio-environmental impacts of its operations and the irregularities it has committed. The document is a collective effort that raises the voices of the people who have been directly affected by Vale.
