What is positive about Rio Tinto?

Answer 1

As there website homepage declares: "Helping to create and maintain the diversity of natural life is a responsibility that we take very seriously. We operate in regions throughout the world that are recognised and valued, both locally and globally, for their biodiversity and we are committed to managing them by reducing our impacts and capitalising on conservation opportunities. There is now increasing expectation that industry should take a role in conservation management. Our biodiversity programmes enable us to better understand and address identified issues through a sustainable development approach, involving traditional landowners and local communities, governments and local non government organisations (NGOs). Our strategy states that we aim to have a net positive impact (NPI) on biodiversity. We, therefore, need to demonstrate that our actions have positive effects that outweigh the inevitable negative effects of the physical disturbances and changes of land associated with mining. "
