Rio Tinto increased its spend with suppliers and local
businesses in Australia to more than A$16.1 billion in 2023, as
part of the company’s ongoing commitment to support communities
where it operates.
This was an increase of 5 per cent on the previous year and was
spent with more than 5,800 businesses, including Australian owned
and operated businesses and locally owned and managed branches of
global companies. The spend helped support tens of thousands of
Australian jobs and delivered a significant economic contribution
to communities across the country.
As part of this spend, more than A$727 million was spent with
168 Indigenous businesses across Australia – an increase of 29 per
cent on the year before.
There was also a 25.5 per cent increase in spending with local
businesses across Australia to A$1.2 billion dollars.
Rio Tinto Chief Executive, Australia, Kellie Parker said, “For
Rio Tinto to have a long-term future, we need the communities where
we operate to be successful and prosperous.
“We strive to employ locally and buy locally in Australia –
especially from Indigenous, small and regional businesses. It's
about providing opportunities to help these businesses grow and, in
doing so, creating new jobs and training opportunities for many
Australians, helping to support the nation's economy.
“We’re proud to have increased our spend with Australian
Indigenous businesses by 29 per cent to A$727 million in 2023 and
with local businesses around Australia by 25% to A$1.2
billion.”
