Rio Tinto has received an award for its significant work in building social capacity in communities surrounding its developing Bunder diamond project in India.
The 2010-2011 Sitaram Rungta Social Awareness Award is conferred by the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI).
The annual award recognises leadership in corporate social responsibility practices in the Indian mining industry, encompassing both social and environmental performance. This is the first time FIMI has granted a Social Awareness Award to a pre-mining project rather than an established mining operation.
