The CNN Brasil website published an article about Vale’s first acquisition of high-integrity forest carbon credits, through Fundo Vale, from Grupo Algar, through Algar Farming. The deal, set to run until 2030, has given Vale 133,000 credits in 2023, which is equivalent to protecting approximately 50,000 hectares of forest. This is the first REDD+ project to be part of Vale’s 2030 Forest Goal strategy, which aims to voluntarily restore and protect 500,000 hectares by 2030.
