Marghanita Johnson has been the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Aluminium Council since 2019. She has over 25 years of experience in the Australian mining and manufacturing sectors, predominantly within the aluminium industry. Earlier, she led government engagement and advocacy on behalf of Rio Tinto’s Pacific Aluminium assets and also held key climate and sustainability roles at Rio Tinto.

We are glad to have a conversation with her and get an insight into the sustainability leads taken by the Australian Aluminium Council.
