Rio Tinto

Rio Tinto is a multinational Anglo-Australian company, the world's second-largest metals and mining conglomerate (behind BHP). As one of the largest manufacturing companies in the UK, the company was established in 1873 when a group of investors purchased from the Spanish government a mine complex on the Rio Tinto in Huelva, Spain. It has grown as a result of many mergers and acquisitions. Rio Tinto, while primarily focused on mineral extraction, also has significant activities in refining, particularly bauxite and iron ore. Rio Tinto has headquarters in both London and Melbourne.

Rio Tinto is a dual-listed business that trades on both the London Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange, where it is a component of the FTSE 100 Index. Furthermore, American depositary shares of Rio Tinto's British branch are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, giving the company three major stock exchange listings. Rio Tinto was ranked the 114th largest public business in the world in the 2020 Forbes Global 2000.

This drive for innovation and continuous improvement is central to the company's mission: finding better ways to provide the materials the world requires by looking for opportunities to reduce carbon footprint, collaborating to develop new technologies to decarbonize steel and aluminum production, and creating new products from waste. In a decarbonizing future, the company's objective is to be a firm with a commodity mix that is linked with evolving consumer demand.
