For us, steel is the fabric of life, as it is at the heart of the modern world from railways to cars and washing machines. We are actively researching and producing steel-based technologies and solutions that make many of the products and components we use in our everyday lives more energy-efficient.
We are one of the world’s five largest producers of iron ore and metallurgical coal and our mining business is an essential part of our growth strategy. With a geographically diversified portfolio of iron ore and coal assets, we are strategically positioned to serve our network of steel plants and the external global market.
We are a global mining company producing iron ore, pellets, and nickel, and we are committed to becoming one of the safest, most trustworthy mining company in the world. With a workforce of 120,000 employees, we work every day to transform natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development for the approximately 30 countries in which we operate.
In addition to mining, we have operations in logistics, energy, and steelmaking. We self-generate 54% of the energy we use, and in Brazil alone, more than 1 million people travel on our passenger trains on the Vitória-Minas and Carajás railroads every year.
We continuously reassert our commitment to the future of our planet by, among other initiatives, protecting 8,500 km² of natural land and investing in R&D to lead the sustainable mining revolution, with the ultimate goal of becoming a carbon-neutral company by 2050.
We are constantly evolving, always aiming to be a diverse and inclusive company. We are pursuing a goal of doubling our female workforce by 2030 and increasing representation among our leadership. Our activities are governed by a policy of transparency, safety and security, ethics, and respect in order to protect the environment and encourage the development of our employees.
