Rio Tinto's Climate Change Impact: F
Rio Tinto currently does not power their corporate building using 100% green renewable energy. This means the electricity used contains a mix of electricity generated by non-renewable means. This may include fossil fuels, such as coal. Today there are many different electricity providers offering green generated renewable electricity.
Rio Tinto's company website currently isn't hosted by an industry recognised green host. This means they power their data centre using 100% renewable energy. Switching to a web hosting provider that operates this way will help the internet, and Rio Tinto becoming a green company.
Becoming carbon-free is one of many ways to become an eco company.
If Rio Tinto was to become a carbon-negative company will not only cover its outgoing carbon dioxide production, but remove more than its total output.
Rio Tinto has not committed to using 100% green renewable energy.
Rio Tinto has pledged to be a carbon neutral company by 2050. Publically stating you are a carbon neutral company, which is a great step towards a positive climate action approach, is what every company should strive for way beyond the Paris Agreement's 2050 deadline.
