How to remain relevant to and aligned with the future challenges of the mineral sector?
This question has prompted us to analyze the good practices on the market, in a movement of evolution of our organizational culture.
In 2019, as we celebrated 40 years of operations, we adopted eight behavioral competencies in our internal evaluation processes, which also began to guide the recruitment processes of MRN. Learn about each of these competencies below.
At MRN, this value is above everything.
