Rio Tinto's human rights policies and procedures have been strengthened through the use of computer based training. Several online training modules have been introduced, including one on The way we work, which is mandatory for all Group employees and one on our Human rights guidance. Over 2500 employees have now completed the human rights training module, which is compulsory for all employees at the general manager level and above.
