Vale S.A. Releases 2025 Sustainability-Related Financial Information Report

Vale S.A. has voluntarily released its 2025 Sustainability-Related Financial Information Report, which aligns with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework. This second edition expands beyond climate-related data to include tailings dams, environmental licensing, community relations, human rights, and health and safety, introducing a new business opportunity in waste reuse termed "circular mining." The report highlights Vale's pioneering role in sustainability and transparency within the mining sector. Circular mining initiatives, including waste reuse, accounted for 26 million tonnes of iron ore production last year, an increase of 107%, and currently represent 8% of total production, with a goal to reach 10% by 2030. The report also identifies opportunities in iron ore products that reduce emissions and in energy transition metals like copper and nickel. Vale emphasizes its commitment to transparency and providing reliable ESG information to support investor decision-making, with this report prepared in accordance with IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.
