For more information, see our Climate Action Plan on page s 41 - 75 . Gender diversity representation of women within our workforce l l l Definition Includes our total workforce based on managed operations (excludes the Group’s share of non-managed operations and joint ventures) 2 . Relevance to strategy Our sustained performance and growth rely on having workforce diversity that is representative of the communities in which we operate and having a workplace where people are valued for who they are and encouraged to contribute to their full potential. Link to executive remuneration In 2024, our target was to have 25.8% of our workforce represented by women. This aspiration was included as a measure in our Group STIP scorecard with a 5% weighting. For more information see pages 130 - 133 . Our performance in 2024 and forward plan The representation of women at Rio Tinto increased from 24.3% in 2023 to 25.2% in 2024, which is short of our target of 25.8%. We saw improvements across all levels of the organisation, with senior leaders increasing from 30.1% to 32.0% , and operations and general support increasing from 17.7% to 18.9% . Our target to increase the proportion of women in our workforce year-on-year gives us continued focus on both the attractiveness of Rio Tinto to women and the environment they work in. We continue to work to strengthen our applicant pipeline of women by partnering with external sector groups and local technical colleges, universities and communities, and building awareness of both Rio Tinto and the mining sector to encourage more women to apply for vacant roles and join us. We are working to more deeply understand the drivers of attrition of women across the organisation. 1. In 2020, we updated our definition of our total workforce to include those employees who were unavailable for work (eg on parental leave) and temporary contractors. Note: less than 1% of the workforce gender is undeclared. 2. Baseline reset with definition for 2020 to 2024 gender diversity.
