. Receiving feedback, complaints or grievances from stakeholders is an important part of ongoing human rights due diligence. In 2024, the human rights team provided support on a range of internal investigations and assessments with a focus on grievance and remedy processes, including at Oyu Tolgoi, Kennecott and in Laos. Capacity building on human rights Since everyone has a role in respecting human rights, our people are our first line of defence. In 2024, we developed a 3-year learning strategy which focuses on respect for human rights. We also launched a global learning program called Human Rights In Action to support our target to train everyone identified in higher-risk human rights roles by the end of the year. Higher-risk roles identified included a large proportion of our senior leaders across a range of functions and assets. The program included virtual events, a mandatory self-directed e-module and a toolkit to cascade learnings throughout the business. We will consider how this program continues to evolve in 2025. Our broader human rights training records are available in the 2024 Sustainability Fact Book . Collaboration It is crucial that we collaborate with peers, civil society organisations and others, given the systemic nature of human rights issues. We identify and embrace initiatives that work to mitigate the root causes of human rights harm. We advocate on public policy efforts that help businesses further respect human rights. We continue to engage with peers, investors, civil society organisations, workers’ organisations and business partners on issues relating to human rights. In 2024, we continued to support ICMM’s Human Rights working group, the Human Rights Resources and Energy Collaborative, and the Mining Association of Canada’s International Social Responsibility Committee. We actively participate in the Voluntary Principles Initiative and UN Global Compact networks and attend regional business and human rights forums in Africa, Asia and Europe.
