Talk:Companhia Vale do Rio Doce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article looks like a corporate press release; most importantly, it glosses over numerous conflicts CVRD has had in the past with local populations, including indigenous communities. The company is also no less responsible for ecological damage than other large mining concerns. Since a shady privatization proccess (when the company was sold for less than its annual profits), CVRD has used its weight and command of the entire iron-ore transport chain to bully and purchase smaller iron miners in Brazil, using its newfound near-monopoly to impose on iron buyers unfair prices, a situation which led to the demise of many foundries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thuin (talk • contribs) .
