Vale announces Chief Compliance Officer
Rio de Janeiro, July 20th, 2020
- Vale S.A (“Vale”) informs that, from this date onwards, Denis Cuenca takes on as Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”),
reporting directly to the Board of Directors and, will be responsible for the compliance office, including the integrity department,
the internal audit and the whistleblower channel.
Denis Cuenca has a solid career as an Internal
Audit, Risk and Compliance executive. Denis has demonstrated systemic and innovative approach regarding control and prevention
processes while yielding positive results and bringing recognition among its peers in the companies he worked. In his international
experience, he conducted auditing and due-diligence works in Mexico, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela. Before joining Vale,
he worked in companies such as Ultrapar, KPMG, Banco Itaú, Banco Real and Itautec. At Ultrapar, Mr Cuenca created a Corporate
Governance framework considered innovative in Brazil, in which the Risk, Integrity and Audit areas work together. Since 2013, he
has been a member of the Ultrapar Conduct Committee and served as Secretary of the Audit and Risk Committee and of the Fiscal Council
at Ultrapar, being responsible for reporting on risk, compliance and audit matters. Between 2014 and 2017, Mr Cuenca also served
as Corporate Governance Secretary of the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC). He has a strong background in financial
statements, tax routines, investments, due diligence, among others.
The CCO will be responsible for managing
the third line of defense, overseeing corporate integrity within the organization and ensuring compliance with laws, regulations,
policies and procedures. This Office must assure to senior management and the Board that there are adequate policies and procedures,
well understood and respected by all employees. The CCO will report directly to the Board of Directors and interact with the Audit
Committee, granting a degree of autonomy and total independence from the other management structures of the company.
The implementation of the Chief Compliance
Office, approved by the Board of Directors in December 2019, is another step towards addressing the recommendations issued by the
Extraordinary Independent Consulting Committee for Investigation in the report released in February 2020 and adds to other measures
to strengthen Vale’s risk governance and safety, such as the establishment of the Audit Committee and the adoption of the
Engineer of Record.
