    “Vale – Our History

    As part of the celebrations for Vale’s 70-year anniversary, the book Vale – Our History was released in November 2012. The book eternalizes our history in 420 pages filled with interesting stories and historical data.

    At first, the idea was to produce a simple catalogue of photos, but the amount of material that was found exceeded expectations. With a print run of 15,000 copies, the publication has been distributed to public libraries, schools and universities throughout Brazil.

    The publication is part of a project to preserve memories of Vale. The first product was a 26-minute film that won a Golden Dolphin at the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards in 2012. This was the first Brazilian film to have won this award.
