Community consultation

Rio Tinto Iron Ore engages in regular consultation with the communities within which it operates. Feedback from local communities plays an important role in our decision-making.

The basis for our community consultations is defined in our community plans, where we set up mutually accepted and understood consultation procedures that are transparent, culturally appropriate and publicly verifiable. We ensure that:

• we keep our communities fully informed about the activities of our operations and the possible effects
• two-way discussions cover community issues and priorities, as well as the needs of our business
• a full record is kept of the substance of all formal and informal meetings.
