SYDNEY--Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN) said it would seek to supply
commodities vital to a low-carbon economy, cut its own emissions
and establish new partnerships to meet its climate goals.
The world's second-largest mining company outlined those
commitments in a climate change report, its first centered on the
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures'
recommendations.
Rio Tinto said it has cut its emission intensity by almost 30%
since 2008.
"We are aware that we have more to consider on climate change
and will work with partners such as the members of the Energy
Transitions Commission, Alcoa and Apple, the World Bank and others,
to look at further sustainable solutions that enable us to continue
to generate profits and contribute to people, the planet and
prosperity," the miner said.
Glencore PLC (GLEN.LN), one of the world's largest coal
producers, recently said it is capping output of the fossil fuel as
it faces growing pressure from investors over climate change.
