Client Overview
Rio Tinto is one of the world’s leading mining and materials companies, with operations spanning iron ore, aluminum, copper, and other critical minerals across more than 35 countries. The company is known for its focus on safety, sustainability, and innovation in resource extraction. While Rio Tinto has deep expertise in mining and global supply chains, it recognized the need to modernize its digital presence for specific stakeholder groups—partners, communities, and investors—ensuring its website and digital platforms reflected its leadership position in the industry.
The vendor was engaged to help Rio Tinto redesign and streamline its digital identity. The goal was to create a website experience that not only communicated the scale and capabilities of the company but also delivered a clear, engaging narrative around sustainability, innovation, and community responsibility.
Addressable market
Rio Tinto operates within the global mining and resources sector, which has an addressable market measured in hundreds of billions of dollars annually. The company’s stakeholders include governments, EPC contractors, industrial buyers, sustainability organisations, and global investors.
In this highly competitive landscape, digital identity is a powerful driver of perception and trust. With industry peers investing heavily in sustainability messaging and transparency, Rio Tinto required a digital presence that could communicate its commitments clearly and provide accessible information to a wide spectrum of stakeholders. The addressable digital audience included not only business partners but also regulators, ESG analysts, and local communities seeking transparency and credibility.
The Challenge
Rio Tinto’s existing website was comprehensive but difficult to navigate, with content silos that fragmented the user journey. Important messages around sustainability and innovation were buried deep within the site, and the experience did not reflect the scale of the company’s global impact. Stakeholders—ranging from investors to community partners—needed quick, trustworthy access to information, but the outdated design and complex structure risked eroding confidence.
The Solution
The project began with stakeholder alignment sessions across communications, sustainability, and investor relations teams to define the highest-priority outcomes.
A new value proposition was crafted to ensure Rio Tinto’s commitments to safety, sustainability, and innovation were consistently presented across all digital touchpoints. The redesigned website emphasized clarity and trust, with improved navigation, modular content structures, and dynamic visuals that highlighted the company’s global footprint.
The Impact
The new website repositioned Rio Tinto as a forward-thinking, transparent, and globally engaged leader in the mining sector. Visitors reported an improved ability to find key information quickly, while investors and analysts cited greater clarity around sustainability reporting. Organic visibility for ESG and innovation content improved significantly, and engagement with community-related content rose by more than 30%.
By aligning strategy, design, and execution, the vendor helped Rio Tinto turn its website into more than a communications tool—it became a platform for building trust, reinforcing leadership, and driving stronger relationships with global stakeholders.
