This is Weipa. We’ve been mining bauxite here for more than 50 years. But the Traditional Owners’ history with this corner of Far North Queensland goes back 40,000 years – and this is what Connection to Country is about – a physical, spiritual and emotional relationship with the land. We are honoured to respect that Connection, and make it part of how we work: https://www.50climateleaders.com/rio-tinto-sustainability-through-partnership/ | Rio Tinto
