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.
