25.01.2022 NAIDOC week is a time to celebrate the rich history and culture of the original custodians of the land, for whom Australia has always been home. Always Was, Always Will Be. At Rio Tinto, it is also a time of sober reflection. The destruction of the rock shelters at Juukan Gorge was wrong. It must never happen again. We will listen, learn and change and rebuild trust with Traditional Owners, Indigenous Australians and all Australians. We have a long road and a lot of work ahead of us, but we are committed to doing everything we can to get there.

24.01.2022 Today, we honour the brave Canadians in uniform, past and present, whose service and sacrifice have helped protect the values Canada holds dear. #RemembranceDay

23.01.2022 This #VeteransDay, we thank the all the men and women serving in America’s Armed Forces, and remember that our freedom is built upon their sacrifice. To all who serve, who have served, and who plan to serve thank you.

18.01.2022 While this year is a little different to others, we have plenty to be thankful for. The tireless efforts of frontline workers, those who have gone above and beyond to support their communities and all of the people we’re privileged to work with each and every day. Wherever you are, near or far, a #HappyThanksgiving from our family to yours!

18.01.2022 Les refuges et les organismes locaux protègent les personnes victimes de violence domestique et familiale et les aident à s’épanouir. Aujourd'hui, en cette Journée internationale pour l'élimination de la violence à l'égard des femmes, nous voulons les remercier. C’est pourquoi nous faisons don de 360 000 dollars canadiens à 12 organismes locaux au Canada pour les aider à poursuivre le travail incroyable qu'ils accomplissent, jour après jour. #16Jours #OrangezLeMonde

16.01.2022 The safety and wellbeing of the people we work with, and the people in our communities, is our number one priority and this extends to the home. On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and every day we’re taking a stand against domestic violence. Find out more about how we're playing our part in supporting families experiencing violence --> https://www.riotinto.com//lets-talk-about-domestic-violence #OurActionsMatter #OrangeTheWorld

15.01.2022 On a typical day here at Rio, we have teams tracking grizzlies in British Columbia, uncovering diamonds 200 km from the Arctic Circle, near Yellowknife, and helping make beer cans more sustainable (with our low-carbon aluminium!) in Quebec. Maybe that’s why we were once again named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2021. A huge thanks to our 10,000 employees across Canada the pioneers who come to work every shift, every day and produce materials essential for human progress. https://bit.ly/3lu1VeX

14.01.2022 I’ve always been interested in geology. It all started when I was little and spent some time in Bahrain, where my father was working. I was so fascinated with the oil pipelines as any little girl would be, right? But when it came time to choose what to do after school, despite my deep love of all things rocks, the career counsellor said I might take a different path. He told me to go into computer science and study at the local college. But, me being me, I applied to study... geology overseas in the UK instead. I had to find my own way into the mining industry, because we didn’t have any encouragement early on. Thankfully, times are changing. Maybe not as fast as they should, or as fast as we would want, but they are changing. And I’m part of that change. I encourage women to mentor women. And I have an eagle eye for spotting female talent. I focus on sponsoring and supporting women to go for roles they might not think they’re ready for yet, or aren’t seen as traditionally for women I make sure they know it’s possible, and they shouldn’t count themselves out before they’re even in the running. Because someone tried to do that to me once, and I think after 23 years in the mining industry, I’ve certainly proved him wrong. Sinead Kaufman is the managing director of our copper and diamonds operations. This week, she was included in Women In Mining - UK's list of 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining. Outstanding work Sinead! https://www.womeninmining.org.uk/wim100/

13.01.2022 Diamonds aren’t forever a new podcast from Good Weekend Talks, all about the myth and magic of our beautiful Argyle diamonds. Give it a listen! http://ow.ly/Ujxz50Cjrnq

11.01.2022 Lors d'une journée "typique" ici chez Rio, nous avons des équipes qui suivent les grizzlis en Colombie-Britannique, qui découvrent des diamants à 200 km du cercle arctique, près de Yellowknife, et qui aident à rendre les canettes de bière plus durables (grâce à notre aluminium à faible teneur en carbone !) au Québec. C'est peut-être pour cela que nous avons été une fois de plus nommés parmi les 100 meilleurs employeurs du Canada pour 2021. Un grand merci à nos 10 000 employés à travers le Canada, des pionniers qui viennent travailler chaque quart, chaque jour et produisent des matériaux essentiels au progrès humain.

09.01.2022 Shelters and local organisations protect and empower those experiencing domestic and family abuse. And today, on the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, we want to thank them. We’re donating C$360,000 to 12 local partner organisations in Canada to help them keep up the incredible work they do, day in and day out. #16Days #OrangeTheWorld

07.01.2022 The Argyle Sakura is one of six hero diamonds in the penultimate Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender. It’s the largest Fancy Vivid pear shaped diamond offered in 37-year history of the tender. Our Argyle diamond mine in the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia produces virtually the entire world’s supply of rare pink diamonds - earlier this month we left the underground portal at Argyle for the last time, as our mine transitions to closure.

02.01.2022 We were delighted to visit Kwa-Mkhwanazi, near our Richards Bay Operations, in South Africa, and hand out face masks to students at the Muntonokudla Secondary School. The masks were made by local artisans who, funded by Rio Tinto, were able to produce 75,000 face masks. It’s one way we’re helping our host communities cope during the #COVID19 pandemic because we’re still all in this together.
