COPELMI

COPELMI has been extracting coal from the ground since 1883, which means we have been contributing towards development and generating energy for more than one century. A pioneer in coal exploration in Brazil, today our company is responsible for more than 80% of the country’s industrial-use coal.

COPELMI holds a mining concession for more than 3 billion tons of coal. The company is proud to contribute towards the development of Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil.

Our company adopts strict criteria of socioenvironmental responsibility. In addition, we ensure the protection and maintenance of employee health by offering them the best working conditions.

This concern is extended to the towns where mining is carried out, where COPELMI fosters social well-being by forming partnerships with the communities.
