About the company
Rio Tinto plc is incorporated in the UK, has its registered office in London and is listed in London and New York. Rio Tinto Limited is incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Since 1995 they have operated as a dual-listed companies structure with common Boards, and the annual report presents them as a single economic enterprise.
On 27 August 2025 the group simplified its product groups from four to three: Aluminium & Lithium, Copper and Iron Ore. The leaders of the product groups and of the global support functions make up the Executive Committee, and each member reports to the Chief Executive. The half-year report for the six months to 30 June 2026 still uses the three groups.
One group, two companies, three product groups
Read the chart from the group downward. The dotted lines to Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited mark the contractual 1995 merger, not a parent and subsidiary: shareholders of both companies share a common economic interest under one Board. The solid lines from the group to the product groups follow the management structure on which segment reporting is based.
Below the product groups are business units the report names. Escondida (30%) is dotted because the report accounts for it as a joint venture. Oyu Tolgoi (66%) is consolidated, so its line is solid. Simandou in Guinea sits outside the segments until completion, when it transfers to Iron Ore. In January 2026 Rio Tinto confirmed preliminary talks with Glencore plc; in February it ended them. This chart is unchanged by that episode.
How this structure supports the business
A standard group chart has one parent at the top. Rio Tinto has two listed companies and no single parent, so a plain list of product groups would hide how the group is held together. Drawing the contractual dual-listing link apart from the management lines, and marking Escondida's shared control, shows which links describe governance and which describe operations.
Interesting facts
- Aluminium & Lithium was formed in 2025 by combining the former Aluminium group with the Lithium business, made up of Arcadium and Rincon.
- Diamonds, Borates and Iron & Titanium are reported below the product groups as Other operations, and sit in the Chief Commercial Officer's portfolio.
- On 9 January 2026 Rio Tinto disclosed preliminary talks with Glencore plc; on 5 February it said it was no longer considering a combination.
