Supplier performance assessments
In order to continuously improve the quality and transparency of our relationships with our suppliers, we carry out periodic evaluations of their performance.

Vale wants to hear from its suppliers!
Vale maintains a service channel that serves different audiences, including suppliers. Through this channel, partners can submit questions, concerns, and suggestions regarding processes, contracts, and their business relationship with the company.
Frequently Asked Questions
All financial management, including the issuance of service and material invoices and payment inquiries, must be done through the V360 Portal. The platform centralizes the tax journey and ensures processing complies with Vale's compliance standards.
On the portal, you have the autonomy to:
• Track invoice status in real time;
• Resolve discrepancies by opening tickets;
• Access navigation guides and exclusive training for partners.
The receivables advance gives Vale's partners access to conscious credit, offering working capital support in emergency situations. Suppliers can view their invoices and request advance payment on them, which facilitates the delivery of contracted goods or services.
Partilhar is a program that encourages suppliers to generate positive impact in the regions where Vale operates. Unlike a conventional registration, participation is voluntary and takes place in an integrated way with the company's contracting cycle.
To participate, the supplier must:
• Wait for the commercial cycle: The opportunity to join arises during specific negotiations or contracting processes.
• Use the IVC Calculator (Community Value Index): Through it, the company proposes local development actions that increase its competitiveness in the selection.
• Receive certification: After the proposal, a partner certifying body validates the data to formalize participation.
