Inherited from BHP Group Limited

Rio Algom Limited, headquartered in Canada, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Rio Algom Limited, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, BHP Group Limited.
