Vale Comments on Brumadinho’s Final CPI Report


Rio de Janeiro – WEBWIRE

Vale S.A. (“Vale”) hereby informs that it was made aware on July 2nd, 2019 of the final report of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (“CPI”) of the Federal Senate on Brumadinho.

Vale respectfully disagrees with the suggestion of indictment of company employees and executives, as proposed in the final report of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry of the Federal Senate.

The report recommends verdicts based on positions held at all levels of the company. Vale considers it essential that there be an expert, technical and scientific conclusion on the causes of the B1 Dam breach before any responsibilities can be identified.

Vale and its employees will continue to actively co-operate with all the competent authorities and bodies to determine the circumstances of the breach.
