Sponsorship

The policy – summary

• All sponsorships that we support must align with our brand values: safety, care and respect, integrity, accountability, collaboration and innovation (read more about our brand values)
• Individuals are not supported other than through scholarship schemes or ambassadorial roles associated with a sponsorship.
• Sponsorships of sport bodies, administration, teams and individuals are not encouraged unless the project is linked directly with community or sport development.
• No blood sports or gambling (boxing, horse racing, etc.) will be considered.
• Sponsorships that are involved in political, partisan, religious or sectarian associations or could constitute a form of donation to a politician, political party or related organisation, an official of a political party or candidate for political office will not be supported.
• Events or activities that are exclusionary on the basis of race, religion, gender or disability, will not be supported. Or, activities that are not consistent with social justice principles of equity, access, participation, rights and accessibility for all groups in the community.
• The policy does not allow for sponsorships that could potentially create a reputational risk.
• Unsustainable activities or events including environmentally unfriendly activities are not supported.
• A sponsor will not gain influence over Anglo American or access to restricted information.
• Sponsorships that pose a conflict with the broader policies and practices of Anglo American will not be considered.

These guidelines apply to our sponsorships which we define as a mutually beneficial commercial agreement between Anglo American and a sponsored party.
