Activist investor group Market Forces is still planning to target Rio Tinto with a shareholder resolution that would require it to set targets for reducing emissions for customers if successful. Such emissions are known as Scope 3 emissions. Market Forces had been planning to hit BHP with a similar resolution, but backed away from doing so after BHP stated it would act on scope 3 emissions created by its customers when using coal and iron ore to make steel. Market Forces’ intentions regarding Rio Tinto come despite Rio and Chinese steel maker Baowu Steel Group unveiling a joint commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
