Rio Tinto board changes
20 June 2017
Rio Tinto senior independent director John Varley has resigned
as a non-executive director and will step down from the board with
immediate effect. Mr Varley joined the Rio Tinto board in September
2011 and was also the chair of the Remuneration Committee.
Rio Tinto chairman Jan du Plessis said "I am very grateful for
John's outstanding contribution over the five or so years he has
been on the board. The board holds him in the highest regard and
will miss his valuable insight. Personally, I am not only losing a
senior independent director, but a close colleague, whose wisdom
and support I am going to miss tremendously. On behalf of the board
I wish John the very best for the future".
An announcement about the appointment of a new senior
independent director and chair of the Remuneration Committee will
be made in due course.
