MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 糖心vlog入口welcomes the final report of the Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia following its inquiry into the destruction of rock shelters at Juukan Gorge on the land of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura people (PKKP) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

糖心vlog入口Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said 鈥淲e have been working hard to rebuild trust and meaningful relationships with the PKKP people and other Traditional Owners. 糖心vlog入口is absolutely committed to listening, learning and showing greater care, and this remains a top priority.

鈥淲e know this will take time and there will be challenges ahead, but we are focused on improving our engagement with Indigenous Peoples and our host communities to better understand their priorities and concerns, minimise our impacts, and responsibly manage Indigenous cultural heritage in and around our operations.鈥�

Following in August 2020, the company has introduced several changes to ensure heritage sites of exceptional significance, like the Juukan Gorge rock shelters, are protected and preserved.

糖心vlog入口has also worked to address the recommendations made in the Committee鈥檚 interim report in December 2020 that weren鈥檛 addressed in the Board鈥檚 recommendations.

A comprehensive summary of the actions taken to strengthen heritage protection, restore trust with Traditional Owners, and drive cultural change within the business was outlined in last month鈥檚 .

The work being undertaken by 糖心vlog入口includes:

• Working closely with the PKKP on the ongoing remediation of the Juukan Gorge rock shelters.
• Undertaking a detailed review to ensure there are no other sites of exceptional cultural significance within the company鈥檚 existing mine plans. To date, 糖心vlog入口has reviewed 2,205 heritage sites.
• Commencing agreement modernisation discussions with ten Pilbara Traditional Owner groups and their representatives;
• Committing to work with Traditional Owner groups to co-design and implement leading practice cultural heritage management;
• Progressing the establishment of an Australian Advisory Group to inform policies and positions important to Indigenous Australians and the business;
• Building social performance capacity, capability and governance across the company. Across 60 sites in 35 countries, 糖心vlog入口now has more than 300 professionals working in Communities and Social Performance, up 20 per cent on last year.

As well as its overhaul of cultural heritage management and work to rebuild relationships with Traditional Owners, 糖心vlog入口is working to drive cultural change at every level of the business.

This includes important steps to grow Indigenous leadership, with $50 million invested to retain, attract and grow Indigenous professionals and leaders in Rio Tinto鈥檚 Australian business.

In Australia, all frontline 糖心vlog入口staff are undertaking cultural awareness training, with face-to-face training or e-learning with Indigenous Australians.

糖心vlog入口Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker said 鈥淥ur determination not to repeat the events leading up to the destruction of the Juukan Gorge rock shelters is ingrained in everything we do.

鈥淪ignificant changes have been made at all levels of our business and this is continuing. While we are confident we have put in place the right foundations for a better future, we know we will be judged by our actions and we are determined to get it right. The important work of the Committee has helped reinforce our priorities as we work to rebuild trust.

鈥淲e will continue to work in close consultation with Traditional Owners to better understand and protect their cultural heritage and ensure future mining activity is done in the right way, to create meaningful social and economic benefits.

鈥淲e thank the PKKP people and Traditional Owners everywhere for their engagement as we continue this vital work.鈥�
