Anglo American Sustainabl
e
Mining Plan
Mining must transform in the decades ahead,
starting now.
Our industry has to address critical challenges of
safety, productivity and the way we use land, energy
and water. As our global population grows, this
leads to a greater demand for minerals and metals,
core components of products and services that are
essential to human progress.
But it’s about more than just the work we do and
the footprint we leave. We are part of people’s lives.
People who demand and deserve more than just
high product quality. Modern society rightly expects
the mining industry to make a positive contribution
to socio-economic development while reducing its
environmental footprint and supporting biodiversity.
THE FUTURE OF
SUSTAINABLE MINING

FUTURESMART MINING
™
:
A BLUEPRINT FOR THE
FUTURE OF OUR BUSINESS
At Anglo American our
Purpose
is to re-imagine
mining to improve people’s lives. We do this through
FutureSmart Mining
™
, our innovation-led approach to
sustainable mining. It is our blueprint for the future
of our business. A future in which broad innovative
thinking, enabling technologies, and collaborative
partnerships will shape an industry that is safer, more
sustainable and efficient, and better harmonised with the
needs of our host communities and society as a whole.
PICTURE THIS:
A world where our mines are
integrated, automated, carbon-
neutral, and waterless.
Low cost, scalable mining with a
reduced, sustainable environmental
footprint.
Contributing positively to our
host communities and society
as a whole.
Picture this...
Continuous mining deep
underground with our people
safely out of harm’s way.
Picture FutureSmart Mining

The Modern Mine
Transforming hard rock mining
Picture this...
Extracting precious resources
without the need for fresh water.

Anglo American Sustainabl
e
Mining Plan
We aspire to be a global leader in
sustainable mining. So we have
developed a
Sustainable Mining Plan,
integral to FutureSmart Mining
™
, to
innovate and deliver step change results
across the entire mining value chain.
From mineral discovery right through to
marketing. This strategy will also
transform our whole business and
deliver value to all our stakeholders.
Our definition of sustainability
A sustainable business is purposeful, competitive,
resilient and agile – it’s a business that thrives through
both economic and social cycles.
By understanding the context and listening to
stakeholders we stay ahead of evolving trends and
provide the solutions to societal expectations. By
solving the physical challenges of mining through
restless innovation, and by constantly searching for
more responsible ways to do business, we are
changing the way our employees and stakeholders
experience our business – creating enduring value for
all stakeholders.
Our Sustainable Mining Plan
Our Sustainable Mining Plan is designed specifically to
drive business efficiencies, resilience and agility. Our
Sustainable Mining Plan will ensure that we deliver
outstanding sustained business results across all
seven of our pillars of value, without compromise –
safety, environment, social, people, production, cost/
margin, and returns/financial.
Sustainability is at the heart of our decision-making:
it is how we do business.

to the communities we work with.
Building thriving communities with
better health, education and levels
of employment.
Maintaining a healthy environment
by creating waterless, carbon

THE CRITICAL
FOUNDATIONS:
RAISING STANDARDS
We are raising the bar. But to do that we need to
ensure we operate all aspects of our business
responsibly. That’s why the whole plan
is
underpinned by our Critical Foundations.
These form the common and minimum requirements for each of our
operations and our business as a whole.
T
he Critical Foundations are essential to the long-term credibility
and success of both the plan and our social licence to operate.

SUSTAINABILITY:
COLLABORATION
AND PARTNERSHIP
At the core of our plans to bring long-term and
sustainable development opportunities to the
regions around our operations is what we call
Collaborative Regional Development.
T
his innovative approach starts by identifying socio-economic
development opportunities with the greatest potential in a region through
spatial planning
and analysis.
This creates the catalyst for partnerships with a broad range of
stakeholders including: community representatives, faith groups,
businesses and entrepreneurs, government, academics and NGOs.
By working through partnerships, we are delivering on our commitment
to building the foundations for long-term, sustainable development in our
host regions, far beyond the life of the mine.

FROM GLOBAL TO
LOCAL: FIVE-YEAR
BESPOKE PLANS
Delivering our global goals requires local action.
All regions face unique challenges.
From Limpopo in South Africa, to Sakatti in Finland and Quellaveco in
Peru, our sites have specific needs.
To meet those challenges and needs, each of our operating sites
will develop their own bespoke, five-year plans. These plans will be
flexible and responsive to an operation’s local context, priorities and
opportunities, but aligned to our three Global Sustainability Pillars,
stretch goals and targets.

BUILDING ON
100 YEARS OF
LEADERSHIP
Our goals for the future are firmly rooted in the
values of our past.
As our founder Sir Ernest Oppenheimer said:
“The aim of this Group is, and will remain, to earn
profits for our shareholders, but to do so in such
a way as to make a real and lasting contribution
to the communities in which we operate”.
It’s still true today. Our Sustainable Mining Plan
is one way we are re-imagining mining to
improve people’s lives.
