Sudbury is also home to some of Vale’s leading environmental initiatives. In partnership with the community, Sudbury has made great strides in their environmental recovery program through improved mining practices and has supported the re-greening of the region. For these and other efforts globally, in 2013 Vale was named one of the 50 most sustainable corporations in the world, according to the 9th edition of the Global 100 list of the world's most sustainable corporations (Source: The Global 100 is an annual project initiated by Corporate Knights Inc http://www.global100.org/annual-lists/2013-global-100-list.html). .
