Vale

Vale is a Brazilian multinational mining company and one of the world's largest producers of iron ore and nickel. The company is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and operates mining facilities and logistics infrastructure across five continents, with significant operations in Brazil, Canada, Indonesia and several African countries including Mozambique. Vale is listed on the B3 stock exchange in São Paulo and the New York Stock Exchange. The company's core business centres on the extraction and processing of iron ore for the global steel industry, but it also produces substantial volumes of nickel, copper, coal, manganese, ferroalloys and other minerals. Vale operates the Moatize coal mine in Mozambique's Tete province, one of the largest coking and thermal coal operations in Africa, along with associated rail and port infrastructure. The company employs tens of thousands of people worldwide and generates annual revenues exceeding tens of billions of dollars. Vale has faced significant scrutiny following the 2019 Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil, which led to major changes in its tailings management practices and corporate governance. The company was founded in 1942 as Companhia Vale do Rio Doce and was privatised in 1997. Vale remains a dominant force in global commodity markets and a key supplier to steelmakers in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
