Climate Policy Engagement

Climate Policy Engagement Overview: The Rio Tinto Group has a strategic level of engagement with climate policy. The company demonstrates top-line support for climate action but displays a mix of positive and negative positions on specific climate-related regulations globally, including Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism reforms. Rio Tinto’s recent positioning on the energy transition is largely positive, generally supporting the decarbonization of industry and the move towards a renewables-based energy system.
