“I recommend agreeing with the regime during the CEO definition process”

Vale, a major mining company, has recently received a statement from its administrative council president asserting that their actions align with the company’s statute, internal regulations, and corporate policies. This announcement comes in response to ongoing controversy surrounding the succession process of executive president Eduardo Bartolomeo.

Former councilor José Luciano Duarte Penido’s resignation letter reportedly criticized the selection process for Bartolomeo’s successor, stating that it was manipulated and politically influenced. However, the Vale Administration Council has defended its actions, stating that they followed proper procedures and regulations.

In a document submitted to the Commission of Mobile Securities (CVM), the council affirmed their commitment to governance processes and promised to continue fulfilling their duties diligently. Despite the allegations raised by Penido, Vale stands by the integrity of their decision-making process.

This development sheds light on internal dynamics within Vale and highlights the importance of transparent and ethical governance practices in large corporations. The company’s reputation and leadership structure will undoubtedly be closely scrutinized in the wake of these revelations.
