Vale S.A. has announced its commitment to eliminate water use in its iron ore processing operations at the Carajás complex by 2027. This initiative underscores the company's dedication to environmental sustainability and operational innovation.
The transition towards dry processing methods is already well underway, with 90% of Vale's Northern System operations currently employing this technique. This significant shift aims to reduce the environmental footprint associated with traditional wet processing.
For investors, this commitment is important as it mitigates environmental risks, particularly concerning water management, and can lead to long-term operational efficiencies. It also aligns Vale with global demands for more sustainable mining practices, enhancing its social license to operate.
