Communities

Mining and processing, by its very nature, can have disruptive impacts on the environment, including on local communities. At the same time, mining also delivers significant economic and social benefits to communities, including employment, local business development, tax and royalty streams, as well as education and health programmes. Our goal is always to maximise these benefits and minimise any disruptive impacts as much as possible.

Environment

Producing the materials the world needs means we have an impact on the environment. We work in remote locations and sensitive environments, where our activities have the potential to cause harm through pollution or land disturbance.

The Simandou project is imminently due to become the world’s largest greenfield mining project and the largest ever undertaken on the African continent. This once-in-a-generation megaproject will not only place Guinea on the world stage as a top global producer of high-quality, low impurity iron ore, it will also set a new benchmark for large scale project development throughout the region.

Accessibility

Rio Tinto recognises the importance of providing a website that is accessible to everyone and easy to use. On this page we outline our ongoing commitment to making our online services accessible and explain the accessibility features of this site.

Accessibility features on this website

HTML heading tags are used to convey the document layout and make it simpler for screen readers to navigate using a list of headers. Navigation menus are marked up as HTML lists which ensures that the number of links in the list is read out at the start and also that they can be skipped easily.

Our pages are fully responsive and may be viewed on a wide range of devices and resolutions.

For more information and advice on how to change your browser, computer, keyboard and mouse to make this and other websites more accessible, please visit the AbilityNet website My Computer My Way.

Commitment to accessibility

We acknowledge the importance of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995, the World Wide Web Consortiums’ (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and Section 508 of the USA Federal Electronic Rehabilitation Act all of which state that provision must be made to ensure that all products and services are accessible to disabled users.

At Rio Tinto, we are committed to making our online services inclusive because accessibility has a positive effect on general usability and we believe that websites that are accessible and usable benefit everyone.

We will continue to review, test and modify our website for usability and accessibility issues and aim to ensure maintaining compliance is part of our ongoing commitment.

We aim to achieve and maintain optimum accessibility by regularly carrying out a combination of both expert reviews and ‘real’ user testing. We believe that automated test tools alone are unable to assess accessibility effectively.
