RNS Number : 9920C Rio Tinto PLC 28 February 2022
28 February 2022
Requisitioned resolution withdrawn
Rio Tinto gives notice, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.17A.2, that the
two requisitioned resolutions submitted by Market Forces for consideration at
Rio Tinto Limited's 2022 Annual General Meeting in Melbourne, Australia on 5
May 2022 have been withdrawn by Market Forces on behalf of the shareholders
who requisitioned those resolutions. These resolutions were originally set
out in the notice to the ASX dated 20 April 2021.
The first resolution proposed an amendment to the constitution of Rio Tinto
Limited to permit the company's members in general meeting to pass advisory
resolutions. The second resolution requested disclosure by the company in
relation to its risk threshold to Scope 3 emissions and the measures it will
take to reduce this exposure.
Through constructive engagement, and ahead of the non-binding, advisory 'say
on climate' resolution to be put to Rio Tinto's annual general meetings, Rio
Tinto and Market Forces have worked together to improve the transparency of
the intended outcomes of, and risk threshold within, the company's Scope 3
approach.
In reaching an agreement to withdraw the resolution, Rio Tinto recognises
shareholder expectations continue to evolve with respect to climate reporting,
and welcomes engagement by Market Forces and other shareholders on this issue.
