Rio Tinto has donated $2 million to the Lord Mayor's Distress
Relief Fund to support Kimberley communities left devastated by the
catastophic flooding event generated by ex-Tropical Cyclone
Ellie.
Employee donations to the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund,
which opened today, will also be matched dollar-for-dollar by Rio
Tinto.
Rio Tinto Iron Ore Chief Executive Simon Trott, said “With our
strong connection with the Kimberley region we want to help those
suffering from the worst floods in Western Australian history.
“For more than 50 years our people have been helping to build
thriving and resilient communities across Western Australia. Rio
Tinto employees will be devastated for the people and communities
in the Kimberley region and we will also be matching their
donations.
“We are also working with our community partners and
stakeholders in the Kimberley to see what further assistance we can
provide to make a positive contribution on the ground.”
Rio Tinto has proudly been part of the Kimberley region for more
than four decades with the Argyle diamond mine operating from 1983
to 2020 and through the West Kimberley fly-in fly-out (FIFO)
