Canada: Vale Invests in Humanitarian Aid to Tackle COVID-19

May 19, 2020
Since the end of January, Vale has taken all measures required to support the prevention of COVID-19 in its Base Metals operations. Globally, the company complies with the health and safety protocols established by the authorities and agencies of each country. Vale also aims to globally support the government initiatives and communities at a time when usual outdoor activities present risks. Among the initiatives in Canada and UK (where the company has many of its Base Metals operations) are donations of masks, games, food - and it also includes a CAD$100,000 donation intended to support skyrocketing demand for food during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Donation of 3,000 N95 masks and 60,000 surgical masks to Eastern Health
  • Donation of 1,200 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to foodbanks in Nain, Natuashish and Sheshatshiu
