Fundo Vale has developed ever more ties with various areas of its sponsor. In this context, closer links with Vale’s Open Innovation Area have contributed to the development of innovative solutions, focusing on achieving the company’s sustainability goals. One of these collaborative initiatives is the challenge presented in the MINE Program 2.0. The challenge called “Carbon credits in projects to restore degraded areas and protect forests,” implemented in 2021, was the result of a partnership between Fundo Vale, the Vale Institute of Technology and Vale Natural Reserve. It will contribute directly to Vale’s 2030 forest and climate change commitments. The MINE Program 2.0 aims to help overcome global obstacles by training agents for change who can help us build the mining of the future, which is safer, cleaner and more efficient, as well as a more sustainable environment. It is one of the biggest open innovation programs in the global mining industry and it is how Vale intends to solve some of its most strategic challenges.
