As a major asset owner and energy user, Rio Tinto has an interest in sensible, predictable climate and energy policy at a national level. Rio's CEO has said that the company aims to be 'part of the solution' to climate change. Yet the company continues to fund, with shareholders' money, lobby groups that constitute significant blockages in our global ability to deal with the threat of climate change. In calling attention to this misalignment, we hope to improve governance around lobbying activities that risk the future of shareholders' assets and the planet.
