This conference call is accompanied by a slide presentation also available at the investors link at the company's website and is transmitted via internet as well. The broadcast via internet, both the audio and the slide chain has a few seconds delay in relation to the audio transmitted via phone.

Sir, you may now begin.
Eduardo Bartolomeo -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. 2022, we substantially de-risked and reshaped Vale.
We had strong deliveries in dam management and decommissioning. We advanced, as expected, the Brumadinho reparation. We created leverage or operational stability and flexibility. And we are simplifying our business portfolio, enabling a greater focus on our core businesses.
On top of that, we drew up a plan for the Vale of the future. A company that promotes sustainable mining, fosters low-carbon solutions, and remains capital disciplined. Next slide. Before going to our performance in Q4, let me just reinforce that we just announced a new organization design for Vale's executive committee, which will strengthen our core business, broaden technical excellence, and improve project execution.
