Vale scores higher in Human Rights ranking
Vale has been improving its human rights management through initiatives such as risk management and socio-environmental impact, due diligence processes, increased of complaints and greater transparency in the disclosure of company information related to the topic. -Camilla Lott, Executive Manager of Social Management and Human Rights
In a ranking released last week by the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) - a comparative study on human rights organized by international institutions - Vale was the only Brazilian company among the top ten. CHRB listed 101 of the world’s largest publicly-traded companies, evaluating their performance in the agriculture, apparel, and extractive industries.
Vale ranked third in the Extractive sector and sixth overall, ranking third in the highest group (between 60% and 69%). In 2017, Vale had been in the sixth group (between 30% and 39%). Vale’s Human Rights Guide and the face-to-face training of two thousand employees in 2018 - in addition to the online courses and chats for the dissemination of our policies and initiatives - contributed to the result.
