a has offered to resolve this potential conflict by stepping down from the Rio Tinto Board. Kaisa has been a very welcome and valuable addition to the Board since her appointment in March 2023, and her guidance on energy transition and business transformation in particular have contributed significantly and insightfully to our discussions. While she will be greatly missed, we have accepted the decision to step down and wish Kaisa well for the future. Dominic Barton Nominations Committee Chair 19 February 2025

Board induction Following a significant refresh of our Board through 2023 and 2024, we reviewed our induction process and made improvements to make it more efficient and tailored to the interests and requirements of each new D irector so that they can quickly build an understanding of Rio Tinto, our markets and stakeholders. The induction aims to add greater depth to Directors’ existing knowledge of the company, enabling them to become more effective members of the Board as quickly as possible. Initially this can be achieved through access to written information, which is provided on appointment. The Company Secretary then works with the Director to build a focused set of engagements with leadership and management to allow for discussion on key topics and further information to be provided. Specific briefings are often included as part of the regular teach-in sessions that are provided for the Board. The induction typically takes several months and the Company Secretary works closely with the Director to ensure it is relevant. Site visits are important to our induction process and this year Dean Dalla Valle, Susan Lloyd- Hurwitz and Joc O’Rourke visited Kennecott, Martin Merz and Joc O’Rourke travelled to Yarwun and QAL, and Sharon Thorne visited our aluminium operations in Saguenay-Lac- Saint-Jean. Our new Directors also v isited Matalco and Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium Quebec Operations’ Sorel-Tracy plant.
