Bavimo se rudarstvom već 150 godina i oslanjamo se na iskustvo prethodnih generacija stečeno na različitim kontinentima. Naša svrha je pronalaženje boljih načina da obezbedimo materijale koji su svetu potrebni – kroz inovacije i stalna unapređenja za proizvodnju materijala sa niskom emisijom ugljenika i uz primenu odgovarajućih standarda zaštite životne sredine, društvene odgovornosti i korporativnog upravljanja. Ipak, to ne možemo da ostvarimo sami i zato smo fokusirani na stvaranje partnerstava kako bismo radeći zajedno rešili izazove i probleme, stvorili zajedničku vrednost i nove prilike.

Gde biste radili

Rio Tinto sektor za proizvodnju materijala za baterije uključuje proizvodne aktivnosti i projekte u Kaliforniji (SAD), u blizini provincije Salta u Argentini, i Projekat „Jadar“ u zapadnoj Srbiji.

Proizvodimo litijum, borate i druge minerale koji su od ključne važnosti za budućnost sa niskom emisijom ugljenika i tehnologije koje podržavaju zelenu tranziciju.

Razvoj Projekta ,,Jadar’’ planiran je prema srpskim i evropskim standardima u oblasti životne sredine i ljudskih prava. Zdravlje i bezbednost naših zaposlenih, izvođača radova i članova lokane zajednice u kojima poslujemo uvek su na prvom mestu. Ovo je jedan od najvećih grinfild projekata za eksploataciju litijuma na svetu i predstavlja ležište svetske klase. Naša vizija je izgradnja podzemnog rudnika bezbedno i održivo, stvarajući dugoročne koristi za Srbiju, lokalnu zajednicu, našu kompaniju i kupce.

Svaki glas je važan

Sa posebnom pažnjom podržavamo zapošljavanje lokalnog stanovništva, žena, pripadnika LGBTQIA+ zajednice, profesionalaca sa dugogodišnjim radnim iskustvom, ljudi sa invaliditetom i zalažemo se za raznolikost kultura.

Posvećeni smo inkluzivnom radnom okruženju u kome se zaposleni osećaju prijatno i mogu da budu ono što jesu. Želimo da naši zaposleni osećaju da vrednujemo njihovo mišljenje, da poštujemo različitost kultura i da su različite perspektive ne samo dobrodošle – već i od ključne važnosti za naš uspeh. Jedni prema drugima se ophodimo fer i sa poštovanjem, bez obzira na rasu, pol, nacionalnost, etničko poreklo, versku pripadnost, starost ili seksualnu orijentaciju, uvek i bez izuzetka.
