Relationships
Rio Tinto Coal Australia aims to develop long term, mutually beneficial robust relationships with all communities of interest.
Communities
Each of our operations is part of a local community, including both Indigenous and non Indigenous populations, with which we aim to develop robust relationships and make a long term sustainable contribution. This includes our near neighbours - those people who live close to our operations.
