Proposta definiva de indenização para danos causados pelo desastre de Mariana em 2015, deixou 19 mortos, centenas desabrigados e contaminou todo o rio Doce. Processos de avaliação e remediação sob legislação aplicável, obrigações de governança e obras a serem feitas em reparo.
Uma proposta de acordo definitivo com os governos sobre reparação do desastre de Mariana (MG) totaliza R$ 127 bilhões, conforme comunicado relevante nesta segunda-feira (29) pela mineradora Vale, acionista da Samarco, em conjunto com a BHP. O valor tem o objetivo de compensar os danos causados pelo colapso da barragem de rejeitos de minério de ferro da Samarco em novembro de 2015, que resultou em 19 mortes, centenas de desabrigados e poluição do rio Doce até o oceano no Espírito Santo. Essa cifra indicada para o acordo representa uma melhoria na proposta das empresas em relação ao valor anterior de R$ 42 bilhões.
‘As empresas e autoridades públicas continuam empenhadas em avançar nas negociações e alcançar a aprovação de um acordo definitivo, seguindo os processos de governança e as leis vigentes’, declarou a Vale, enfatizando que informará o mercado sobre a possível aprovação de um acordo definitivo. Além disso, a busca por um entendimento entre as partes comprometidas ressalta a importância da responsabilidade corporativa em situações de crise e desastres ambientais.
Understanding Reached Through Negotiations
Recently, BHP engaged in discussions with investors about a noteworthy strategic plan involving a substantial offer of $39 billion for Anglo. This move is seen as a substantial step towards a potential agreement that could reshape the dynamics of the industry. Similarly, Vale has been navigating its own path, with a net profit of $1.7 billion in the first quarter, albeit a 9% decline compared to the previous period.
Proposal for Settlement and Governance
In a groundbreaking development for the highway concession sector, a groundbreaking agreement is on the horizon, set to unlock investments of around R$8 billion in the state of Espírito Santo. This pact signifies a shift towards a more collaborative approach between stakeholders, paving the way for progress and mutual benefit.
The proposed agreement to definitively settle the obligations of the companies involved is a complex process that is being carefully evaluated. It involves a comprehensive financial package, including a commitment of R$72 billion to be disbursed over a specified period to the federal, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo governments, as well as local municipalities. This proposal encompasses not only financial compensation but also encompasses obligations to be fulfilled, totaling R$18 billion, emphasizing a holistic approach to remediation efforts.
Efforts Towards Remediation and Indemnization
The reparations and indemnifications following the tragic Mariana disaster have been a top priority for Samarco, Vale, and BHP. By March 2024, a significant sum of approximately R$37 billion had been allocated towards remediation and compensation, with a substantial portion already disbursed to over 430,000 individuals affected by the event. Additionally, progress has been made in the resettlement of communities impacted by the dam rupture, with approximately 85% of cases resolved, showcasing a commitment to repair the damage caused.
Progress and Accountability in Governance
The milestone achieved through these negotiations demonstrates a significant step towards rapprochement between the involved parties, setting a precedent for collaborative resolutions in complex situations. As evaluations continue and applicable legislations are taken into account, the definitive agreement on the table signifies a crucial juncture in the efforts to address the aftermath of the Mariana disaster comprehensively.
Future Steps Towards a Comprehensive Treaty
Moving forward, the focus remains on the processes leading to a final accord that ensures all stakeholders are fulfilling their obligations and commitments, thereby achieving a state of equilibrium and repair in the affected regions. The journey towards remediation and indemnization is ongoing, with a definitive path now in sight as the to-be-done actions are outlined and implemented to bring closure to this challenging chapter in the region’s history.
