Rio Tinto publishes an annual statement where we outline how we have performed in our response to addressing modern slavery, and our future areas of focus. It is an important opportunity for us to reflect on our efforts, share our progress and learnings, and recognise where challenges persist and what we can do better. IOC adheres to these same principles as a business unit of Rio Tinto's Minerals Group.
