Rio Tinto Board changes

16 March 2023

 

Rio Tinto has appointed Dean Dalla Valle and Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz as
non-executive directors. Mr Dalla Valle and Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz, both Australian
citizens, will join the Board on 1 June 2023 and will therefore stand for
election at the annual general meetings of the company in 2024.

Mr Dalla Valle brings four decades of operational and project management
experience in the resources and infrastructure sectors, having previously been
Chief Commercial Officer at BHP and Chief Executive Officer of Pacific
National. He has held numerous leadership roles, working across all major
mining commodities and brings a wealth of experience in engaging with a broad
range of stakeholders globally, including governments, investors and
communities. Mr Dalla Valle is also an experienced non-executive and currently
serves as Chair of hydrogen electrolyser technology company Hysata.

Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz brings extensive leadership experience in Australia's built
environment sector, having been Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director
of Mirvac Group for over a decade. She is known for her transformational
leadership on cultural change, gender equity, diversity and inclusion, and
sustainability. Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz currently serves as Chair of the Australian
National Housing Supply & Affordability Council, President of Chief
Executive Women, and is a Global Board member at leading international
Business School INSEAD.

Rio Tinto Chair Dominic Barton said "Dean and Susan will deepen the Board's
capabilities and experience in key areas we had identified that needed
strengthening, and I am greatly looking forward to working with them both.

"Dean is highly regarded across the mining industry for his deep operational
and technical experience and acumen, with a clear focus on safety. His vast
experience of developing complex mining projects and of operating across
various commodities on multiple continents will be invaluable.

"Susan is highly respected for her transformational leadership and brings a
deep understanding of sustainability which is critical as we work with our
customers to decarbonise our entire value chains. At Mirvac, Susan established
a strong culture that was purpose driven, commercial, inclusive and innovative
and this experience will be particularly important for Rio Tinto as it
continues on its own journey of cultural transformation."

Dean Dalla Valle said "I am pleased to be joining Rio Tinto, and believe that
the clear objectives and strategy it has adopted will create a stronger
company, able to thrive in a decarbonising world. I look forward to playing my
part in this journey, particularly as Rio begins now to develop and
operationalise its suite of key capital projects."

Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz said "I look forward to joining Rio Tinto as it continues
its focus on operational excellence and am excited about the work ahead in
effecting the cultural transformation and decarbonisation of the business."

Rio Tinto confirms that there are no further matters to be disclosed pursuant
to Rule 9.6.13(1)-(6) of the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority.
