Registration is open until Jul-28 for entrepreneurs from Anchieta, Guarapari and Piúma, in Espírito Santo, who wish to be part of the 4th edition of Força Local's Electronic Supplier Catalog. The program, created in 2020, supports business development in the territories where Samarco operates. It has been carried out since November 2020 and has already certified more than 381 companies, affecting around 15 thousand people.

The new edition will be launched in August this year and will be shared with companies hired to increase the visibility of local businesses. Applications must be made through the program's website using this link. As a tool to encourage new business, the catalog was developed with the purpose of mapping and boosting the visibility of local companies among our contractors. The publication has around 450 suppliers from different segments, such as construction, environment, information technology, clothing and health, among others.

The initiative comprises 450 suppliers registered in previous editions. Anyone who is already on the latest edition will be automatically included in this new one. Registration is only necessary if the company's data is updated and for those suppliers who are not yet in the catalogue.
