Mining company Rio Tinto has stated that Simon McKeon will step down as a non-executive director after Rio Tinto Limited’s annual general meeting, scheduled for May 2, 2024.
During 2023, five new non-executive members were announced for the company’s Board as part of an update in its composition. As part of the transition process, Simon McKeon agreed to step down from his position as a director after the annual general meetings in 2024 and will not seek re-election by shareholders.
Rio Tinto mining company Chairman Dominic Barton expressed his appreciation and thanks to Simon for his valuable contribution. “I am extremely grateful to Simon for his invaluable contribution. Given his roles as Senior Independent Director of Rio Tinto Limited and Designated Director for workforce engagement, Simon has taken a particular interest in Rio Tinto’s revitalised approach to engagement with the wider Australian community, as well as the company’s cultural reboot. On behalf of the Board, I wish him well for the future.”
