Brazilian mining today is the result of a more than natural evolution of the extractive and rudimentary activity of the colonial period.
When it became an industry, a business activity therefore, it required from its managers the commitment to the sustainability of its operations, in order to reflect positively on the sustainability of the country and the planet.
This is the path that the modern Brazilian mining industry has followed with greater emphasis in the recent decades – all dully documented and transparently exposed to society, according to the world´s best corporate governance practices.
