Many of our operations are located on land and waters that have belonged to Indigenous and land-connected Peoples for thousands of years. We respect their ongoing deep connection to, and their vast knowledge of, the land, water and environment. We pay our respects to Elders, both past and present, and acknowledge the important role Indigenous and land-connected Peoples play within communities and our business. We are Rio Tinto, and we’re finding better ways™ We live on a planet that’s changing fast. The energy transition is an urgent, global challenge that calls for more of the metals and minerals we produce. This provides us with great opportunity, but we must supply that demand responsibly, and reduce emissions across our value chain. It’s why we’re working tirelessly to find solutions to complex questions, so we can help close the gaps, as we provide the materials the world needs.
