Response to the Business and Human Rights Centre (BHRC) outreach dated 27 January 2025

Thanks for the opportunity to comment. Rio Tinto does not have operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Given this and the fact that the article in question is outdated and appears to rely on speculative rather than verified information, we will not provide comments on its content. We value fact-based dialogue with civil society and remain available should you have any further questions.
