Everyday Respect

Everyday Respect

Creating a workplace where everyone, everywhere feels safe, respected and empowered to bring their best, every day.

We released the鈥 in 2022, focusing on implementing the 26 recommendations.

Two years after releasing the initial Everyday Respect Report we asked ., who independently ran the original review, to return for a Progress Review.

, finding change is happening and we鈥檙e making progress. However, there are serious challenges we must continue to address. People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes in our company that are unacceptable and harmful.

Disruptive cultural change is hard. It requires our organisation to listen and regularly check in with each other as we continue to evolve on this multi-year journey to Everyday Respect.

The findings from the Progress Review will be used to:

  • Help inform and shape the next phase of our culture journey.
  • Help us understand the types of issues our people are facing.
  • Provide an opportunity to make our business more safe, inclusive and respectful.

Two years into a multi-year cultural change journey

We鈥檙e at the relatively early stage of our Everyday Respect journey, but are already seeing promising signs of improved culture, innovation, productivity and performance.

Making meaningful change

We鈥檙e making progress with promising signs of improved culture, and building a 糖心vlog入口we can all be proud of.

The Everyday Respect Progress Review Report highlighted while Everyday Respect is now widely considered a normal conversation, people continue to experience harmful behaviours at our workplaces, particularly women and marginalised groups.

Guided by the insights from the Progress Review, and building on the 26 Everyday Respect recommendations, we have shaped the next stage of our plan to further embed existing interventions and accelerate change.

We are finding better ways鈩 to support and empower our people, which means creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves, has the courage to speak up if something is not right and listens to each other with care and curiosity.

We are focusing on 3 priority areas:

  • Equipping frontline leaders to drive change.
  • Building buy in for change across all areas of our workforce.
  • Securing and retaining diverse talent.

How we will implement change

To ensure we have a workplace where everyone, everywhere feels safe, respected and empowered to bring their best, every day we are focusing on the following key actions.

  • Integrating ongoing listening to business processes through 4 Employee Resource Groups (doubling to 8 early in 2025) and more than 20 Village Councils; and through our twice-yearly People Survey.
  • Further embedding our new performance management process by linking career progression and remuneration to how people behave according to our 鈥淰alues in Action鈥 framework, equally to what they have achieved.
  • Deepening people leadership capability with all operational leaders and site teams to undertake Values, Mindsets and Behaviours training by the end of 2026.
  • Driving sustainable improvements in workforce diversity with progress on gender balance linked to end of year bonuses to drive sustainable year on year improvement.
  • Accelerating cultural inclusion activities including extending our Cultural Connections Program from Australia, where employees have already benefitted by deepening their understanding of Indigenous history and culture, to Canada in 2025.
  • Further educating about harmful behaviours including sexual harassment, bullying and racism, with more than 90% of our employees and contractors to complete redesigned mandatory Code of Conduct training, in line with Everyday Respect, by the end of 2025.
  • Publishing case studies of harmful behaviour to encourage discussion and wider learning with the roll out of 鈥楶urple Banners鈥 - a communications tool developed in our Iron Ore business, modelled on the sharing of safety incidents.
  • Further improving the reporting and resolution process for people experiencing harmful behaviours, including reducing timeframes and increasing transparency.
  • Inclusion of all contractors for relevant Everyday Respect training and listening programs, where practical.
  • Further upgrading facilities through building on our investment to date to improve facilities at sites with further significant investment planned, alongside publishing clear principles in facilities design and requirements in line with our Code of Conduct.

Chief Executive

People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes in our company that are unacceptable and harmful. I am greatly troubled by this and sincerely apologise on behalf of our leadership team to anyone affected. I want to thank everyone across our business who has shown the courage to speak up, as your honesty will guide our ongoing efforts to become an organisation where every day is safe, respectful, and productive for everyone.

鈥淚 am proud and greatly encouraged by the genuine effort across 糖心vlog入口to change and to make Everyday Respect part of our daily conversations, and by the fact that this Progress Review shows the majority of our people believe we are heading in the right direction. The review also shows that while progress is being made, achieving the sustained change we want to see in our culture will require ongoing focus and effort. My message today is that we will stay the course.鈥

I applaud Rio Tinto’s continued leadership and commitment to transparency in driving cultural change. This is a significant undertaking in a global company with a growing and dynamic workforce, diverse roles and complex working environments.

鈥淭wo years on, the progress is evident and there is an ongoing commitment to this work. I am not surprised to see some areas where results haven鈥檛 improved, this is a normal part of the cultural change process. With sustained focus from Rio Tinto, we should expect to see the positive change spread over time.鈥

Our commitment to Everyday Respect

Our Chief Executive and Executive Committee have signed this statement to demonstrate their full commitment to the implementation of the recommendations within the Report. This work is key to achieving our shared ambition of creating a safe, respectful and inclusive organisation for our colleagues across all locations, every day.

The Everyday Respect Report highlighted deeply disturbing stories of bullying, sexual harassment, racism, and other forms of discrimination within our company. Stories that took courage for people to step forward, tell and relive.

We feel shame and enormous regret to have learned that these behaviours are systemic across our workplace. These behaviours are unacceptable and are not the 糖心vlog入口we want to be.

We offer our heartfelt apology to every team member, past and present, who has suffered because of these behaviours. We have been reflecting on how these behaviours were normalised in our business and we know we need to lead in a different way to ensure people are safe, respected and included.

Since the Report was published we have been humbled and encouraged by how our organisation has discussed and responded to the challenge we have ahead. It is clear that no one individual or action can deliver the progress we need to make, but there is commitment within our teams to driving positive change. Together, we want to develop a strong, sustainable and inclusive culture 鈥 one that supports and celebrates differences, and empowers people to be their best selves. To do so we are taking meaningful and practical steps to:

  • Live our values of care, courage and curiosity every day 鈥 guiding how we work and how we treat each other.
  • Implement all 26 recommendations from the Everyday Respect Report that focus on making changes:
    • Inclusive leadership at all levels to ensure the right behaviours everywhere, and that all our people are empowered and encouraged to speak up freely when they see behaviours that are not aligned to our values.
    • At our facilities by engaging with the people who use them to ensure they are safe and inclusive for everyone.
    • To provide a caring response so that people feel it is easy and safe to call out harmful behaviours, highlight issues when they happen, and are supported.

We will do so by working closely with people across our business to design and implement the right solutions with real impact, taking into account local experiences and context. And we will be transparent and show where we are making progress.

We will also share our learnings with our partners, stakeholders and the wider mining industry to help support, influence and drive change to create a safer, more inclusive, and equal industry and society.

We know that we are on a multi-year journey and that while some changes can be made today, others will take time. Through it all, we are deeply committed to continuing to listen, engage and work with colleagues and partners of Rio Tinto, to build a better organisation that can have a greater positive impact for everyone.
