The strategy of Anglo American is to secure, develop and operate a portfolio of high quality and long life resource assets to deliver leading shareholder returns. This can be achieved through innovative practices and technologies, in the hands of our world-class people, working towards a common purpose of re-imagining mining to improve people’s lives.
Central to delivering the strategy is our FutureSmart Mining which is an innovation-led approach to sustainable mining, bringing together the three interlinking elements of digitisation, technology development and sustainability, all in service of delivering a sustainable business. Sustainability considerations influence our entire value chain from communities located adjacent to our mines to our customers and the end consumers. It shapes our regulatory and social licence to operate; impact on capital and operating costs; ability to recruit the best talent; response to investors’ expectations; and our approach to mining. Sustainability is transforming the way we do business and drives value for all our stakeholders.
