Online

This is a finance vehicle. It is a company formed to issue or hold debt rather than to trade. Vehicles like this do not have websites, marketing or social accounts, and none is listed here because none exists. Its filings and its place in a group are the substance of it.

Group structure

Its immediate parent is RIO TINTO PLC.

Ownership as recorded by GLEIF, the body that issues Legal Entity Identifiers. Unlike a shared registered office, these relationships are filed and validated, so they are evidence of a real corporate link.
