Engagement
Rio Tinto operates in an increasingly complex world with a multitude of influences that can affect our ability and licence to operate. The quality of our relationships with political, industry and civil society stakeholders plays a crucial role in protecting and enhancing Rio Tinto's short and long term value and reputation.
Media
We seek to inform and cooperate with the media as an important channel to vital global and local audiences.
Investors
We recognise the importance of effective communication with shareholders and the general investment community.
Government and corporate relations
We represent our views as a company to governments and others on matters affecting our business interests.
Local communities
Good management of community relationships is as necessary to our business success as the management of operations.
Employees
We recognise that business performance is closely linked to effective recruitment, people development and retention.
Customers and suppliers
Understanding the issues facing our customers and suppliers is an important part of the way we do business.
