Let us know if this data was useful to you
Rio Tinto Limited, headquartered in Australia, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, Rio Tinto Limited is part of a broader corporate family that includes Rio Tinto plc, which may have relevant performance metrics. However, no specific reduction targets or achievements have been disclosed for Rio Tinto Limited itself. The company is involved in various climate initiatives, including participation in the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) and Climate Action 100+, both of which are cascaded from the parent organization, Rio Tinto Group. These initiatives reflect a commitment to addressing climate change, although specific targets or pledges have not been detailed. In summary, while Rio Tinto Limited is engaged in climate initiatives and inherits some data from its parent company, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets.
