We are entrusted with accessing the world’s essential materials and making them available for society’s use.
These resources are finite, and we recognise our responsibility to extract full value from minerals and materials we produce while avoiding harm and mitigating impacts to people and the planet.
Excellence in managing the fundamentals of our business gives us the opportunity to make more substantial and meaningful contributions to society. We are working in partnership with others to support fairer, more sustainable and inclusive communities where we operate.
We must ensure all our stakeholders benefit from the success of Rio Tinto. To do this, our business priorities and performance must align with society’s expectations, which are constantly evolving. Robust and trusting relationships with our stakeholders are essential to secure a strong future for our business while ensuring we make meaningful contributions to our host communities and towards addressing the world’s most urgent challenges.
