Corporate governance
Rio Tinto is committed to high standards of corporate governance for which the directors are accountable to shareholders.
Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited have adopted a common approach to corporate governance and apply the principles contained in Part 1 of the Combined Code on best practice in corporate governance appended to the Listing Rules published by the UK Listing Authority and in the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Both companies have voluntarily adopted the recommendations of the US Blue Ribbon Committee in respect of disclosures to shareholders.
