- Our approach
GRI - Environmental
| GRI Indicator | Description of indicator | Links to information | Level of reporting |
|---|---|---|---|
EN1 |
Materials used by weight or volume. |
|
|
EN2 |
Materials used that are recycled input materials. |
|
|
EN3 |
Direct energy consumption by primary energy source. |
|
|
EN4 |
Indirect energy consumption broken down by primary source. |
|
|
EN8 |
Water withdrawal by source. |
|
|
EN11 |
Land owned, leased, managed in, or adjacent to, protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected area. |
|
|
EN12 |
Significant impacts of activities, products, and services on biodiversity in protected and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected area. |
|
|
MM1 |
Amount of land disturbed or rehabilitated. |
|
|
MM2 |
Sites identified as requiring biodiversity management plans and those with plans in place. |
|
|
EN16 |
Direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
|
EN17 |
Other relevant indirect greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
|
EN19 |
Emissions of ozone depleting substances. |
We have been eliminating the use of ozone depleting substances for many years in line with local legislation and environmentally good practice. Materiality assessment shows this topic is not sufficiently important to our stakeholders to warrant inclusion in our reporting. |
|
EN20 |
NOx, SOx, and other significant air emissions. |
|
|
EN21 |
Water discharge by quality and destination. |
|
|
EN22 |
Waste by type and disposal method. |
|
|
MM3 |
Overburden, rock, tailings and sludges and associated risks. |
|
|
EN23 |
Significant spills. |
|
|
EN26 |
Initiatives to mitigate the environmental impacts of products and services. |
Product stewardship |
|
EN27 |
Product packaging materials that are reclaimed by product category. |
Rio Tinto's major products are mined metals and minerals, which are sold in bulk rather than in packages (exceptions include borates and talc). Packaging materials are not generally recycled, but products shipped in packages constitute less than five per cent of Rio Tinto's business. |
|
EN28 |
Significant fines and total number of non monetary sanctions for non compliance with environmental laws and regulations. |
|
Fully reported
Partially reported (Only part of the indicator may be relevant or working towards fully reporting in the future)
Not reported (Not relevant, commercially confidential or committed to future reporting)
