(RTTNews) – Rio Tinto announced a series of changes to the composition of its Board of Directors. During a recent transitional period, the Board expanded to 14 members to retain the deep expertise of long-serving Directors while providing newly appointed members the opportunity to gain familiarity with the Group. This structure supported continuity and effective onboarding during a time of strategic evolution.
