Examples of how Chronos is used in different companies

The world is under increasing pressure from threats like climate destabilisation, growing populations, growing social inequality, terrorism, loss of biodiversity, and HIV/AIDS. These issues present serious risks to our societies, including our businesses. I believe that by increasing our understanding of sustainable development through tools like Chronos, and by firming our commitment to society’s transition to sustainable development, Rio Tinto can be seen more as part of the solution to these problems.
