Building the leading global mining company
"We’re making a real and positive difference by operating safely, sustainably
and responsibly."
David Weston, Director of Business Performance and Projects, Anglo American
We are investing in world class assets in the most attractive commodities
Anglo American is one of the biggest and most successful mining groups in the world. Having built our business and international reputation over more than 90 years, we now have a unique portfolio mix that spans bulk commodities (iron ore, metallurgical coal and thermal coal), base metals (copper and nickel) and precious metals and minerals (platinum and diamonds).
However, in this highly competitive and demanding industry we know that we cannot rest on our laurels. We must constantly look forward and, for us, that means striving to become the leading global mining company.
To achieve this, we are investing in world class assets in the most attractive commodities. We are organised efficiently and effectively to ensure each of our business units is focused on operational excellence, project delivery and driving its cost position further down the industry curve; while our approach to operating safely, sustainably and responsibly remains uncompromised.
We also aim to employ the very best people in the industry. Our people are as vital to our success as our mining assets, as it is they who will realise our ambition and deliver our strategy to become the investment, the partner and the employer of choice.
The way in which we all do business on a day-to-day basis reflects this strategy.
