Sustainable development policy
Rio Tinto businesses, projects, operations and products should contribute
constructively to the global transition to sustainable development.
We contribute to sustainable development by helping to satisfy global and
community needs and aspirations, whether economic, social or environmental.
This means making sustainable development considerations an integral part of
our business plans and decision making processes.
By focusing on people, the environment, resource stewardship and management
systems, we can better manage risk, create business options, reduce costs,
attract the best employees, gain access to new markets and resources and
deliver a better product to our customers.
In practice, this depends on the active awareness of and support for Rio
Tinto's principles and policies by each of us as individuals.
