Strategy

A focused and integrated strategy

Our vision of being the global mining leader means maintaining or achieving sector leadership, including operational excellence, sustainable  development, exploration and innovation.

Core objective: To maximise total shareholder return by sustainably finding, developing, mining and processing natural resources. Strategy: To invest in and operate large, long term, cost competitive mines and businesses, driven not by choice of commodity but rather by the quality of each opportunity. Priorities: Rio Tinto have five business priorities to enable us to deliver our strategy and improve our long term financial performance. These priorities will support our vision to be the global mining leader. Key Performance Indicators: Achievement of our strategy and goals are measured by a mixture of financial and non financial performance indicators, some of which are linked to executive remuneration.
