Rio Tinto – Interim Target A

“As part of our new Group strategy, we now aim to achieve the 15% absolute reduction target five years earlier, by 2025, and have more than tripled our 2030 target to reduce emissions by 50%. These targets replace our emissions intensity target. We will continue to adjust the 2018 baseline to exclude reductions achieved by divesting assets in future, and to account for acquisitions” “We have committed to reach net zero by 2050 and have set ambitious interim targets relative to our 2018 equity emissions baseline: – to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 15% by 2025; and – to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2030.”
