We know that Rio Tinto and Fortescue take their environmental responsibility seriously, but the laws are so diverse and intricate not all employees are aware of their responsibilities in respect to multitude of Environmental Acts.
Change this by sending them to LandTrack’s practical Environmental Essentials WA course and avoid your company being called out in parliament for breaching environmental laws and failing to meet your ESG obligations.
