The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF), on behalf of Rio Tinto, is conducting research relating to the Rio Tinto Prize for Sustainability as part of the Reflection Period that is taking place from 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010. The research will focus on documenting the impact of the Prize and exploring its future direction.

This online survey forms part of a comprehensive research programme which also includes a detailed desktop review; a focus group with organisations shortlisted for the 2008 Prize; site visits and interviews with previous winners (2004-2008); and in-depth interviews with members of the broader Prize Network (including past adjudicators, assessors, shortlisted organisations and Rio Tinto employees).

This online survey is in dynamic format and questions will vary depending on your organisation’s relationship with the Prize. This survey has been designed for stakeholders interested in the Prize for Sustainability including past and potential Prize entrants, training grant recipient organisations, shortlisted organisations, assessors, assessment and marketing partners and other identified stakeholders in the broader sustainable development community. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes.

All questions indicated with an asterisk (*) will be compulsory.

We thank you in advance for your time.


All information gathered in this survey will be used by Rio Tinto and the IBLF only for the purposes mentioned above, and any information of a confidential nature will be kept strictly confidential and will not be published or divulged to any third parties.
