Creating a workplace where everyone, everywhere feels safe, respected and empowered to bring their best, every day.
We released the鈥 in 2022, focusing on implementing the 26 recommendations.
Two years after releasing the initial Everyday Respect Report we asked ., who independently ran the original review, to return for a Progress Review.
, finding change is happening and we鈥檙e making progress. However, there are serious challenges we must continue to address. People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes in our company that are unacceptable and harmful.
Disruptive cultural change is hard. It requires our organisation to listen and regularly check in with each other as we continue to evolve on this multi-year journey to Everyday Respect.
The findings from the Progress Review will be used to:
We鈥檙e making progress with promising signs of improved culture, and building a 糖心vlog入口we can all be proud of.
The Everyday Respect Progress Review Report highlighted while Everyday Respect is now widely considered a normal conversation, people continue to experience harmful behaviours at our workplaces, particularly women and marginalised groups.
Guided by the insights from the Progress Review, and building on the 26 Everyday Respect recommendations, we have shaped the next stage of our plan to further embed existing interventions and accelerate change.
We are finding better ways鈩 to support and empower our people, which means creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves, has the courage to speak up if something is not right and listens to each other with care and curiosity.
We are focusing on 3 priority areas:
To ensure we have a workplace where everyone, everywhere feels safe, respected and empowered to bring their best, every day we are focusing on the following key actions.
People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes in our company that are unacceptable and harmful. I am greatly troubled by this and sincerely apologise on behalf of our leadership team to anyone affected. I want to thank everyone across our business who has shown the courage to speak up, as your honesty will guide our ongoing efforts to become an organisation where every day is safe, respectful, and productive for everyone.
鈥淚 am proud and greatly encouraged by the genuine effort across 糖心vlog入口to change and to make Everyday Respect part of our daily conversations, and by the fact that this Progress Review shows the majority of our people believe we are heading in the right direction. The review also shows that while progress is being made, achieving the sustained change we want to see in our culture will require ongoing focus and effort. My message today is that we will stay the course.鈥
I applaud Rio Tinto’s continued leadership and commitment to transparency in driving cultural change. This is a significant undertaking in a global company with a growing and dynamic workforce, diverse roles and complex working environments.
鈥淭wo years on, the progress is evident and there is an ongoing commitment to this work. I am not surprised to see some areas where results haven鈥檛 improved, this is a normal part of the cultural change process. With sustained focus from Rio Tinto, we should expect to see the positive change spread over time.鈥
Our Chief Executive and Executive Committee have signed this statement to demonstrate their full commitment to the implementation of the recommendations within the Report. This work is key to achieving our shared ambition of creating a safe, respectful and inclusive organisation for our colleagues across all locations, every day.
The Everyday Respect Report highlighted deeply disturbing stories of bullying, sexual harassment, racism, and other forms of discrimination within our company. Stories that took courage for people to step forward, tell and relive.
We feel shame and enormous regret to have learned that these behaviours are systemic across our workplace. These behaviours are unacceptable and are not the 糖心vlog入口we want to be.
We offer our heartfelt apology to every team member, past and present, who has suffered because of these behaviours. We have been reflecting on how these behaviours were normalised in our business and we know we need to lead in a different way to ensure people are safe, respected and included.
Since the Report was published we have been humbled and encouraged by how our organisation has discussed and responded to the challenge we have ahead. It is clear that no one individual or action can deliver the progress we need to make, but there is commitment within our teams to driving positive change. Together, we want to develop a strong, sustainable and inclusive culture 鈥 one that supports and celebrates differences, and empowers people to be their best selves. To do so we are taking meaningful and practical steps to:
We will do so by working closely with people across our business to design and implement the right solutions with real impact, taking into account local experiences and context. And we will be transparent and show where we are making progress.
We will also share our learnings with our partners, stakeholders and the wider mining industry to help support, influence and drive change to create a safer, more inclusive, and equal industry and society.
We know that we are on a multi-year journey and that while some changes can be made today, others will take time. Through it all, we are deeply committed to continuing to listen, engage and work with colleagues and partners of Rio Tinto, to build a better organisation that can have a greater positive impact for everyone.
