Rio Tinto has released a practical ‘how to’ guide for integrating
cultural heritage considerations into their communities work
throughout all Rio Tinto operations, including exploration, project
development, mines and smelters.
This publication, developed in conjunction with the Centre for Social
Responsibility in Mining at the University of Queensland, provides
guidance on how to improve the understanding of cultural heritage
values and how, through engagement with communities and stakeholders,
Rio Tinto can improve decision-making and management processes.
The Guide also provides background material on cultural heritage as a
concept, a practical business priority and as an emerging field in
international forums.
The guide is intended for an internal audience but has been made
publicly available on both the CSRM and Rio Tinto websites:
