Financial performance
Key sustainability performance indicators(1)
In addition to the financial and cost performance set out above and our operational performance on pages 4-12, Anglo American tracks progress against our Sustainability Strategy targets across three themes of Trusted Corporate Leader, Healthy Environment and Thriving Communities. Our targets are set out on page 16 and performance is captured below, with further detail on pages 13-15.
Our updated Sustainability Strategy and targets, released in February 2026, apply to our simplified portfolio(2) only, and the performance in the table below reflects this. Our basis of preparation for wider sustainability reporting continues to account for 100% of managed operations (including both continuing and discontinued operations)(3) and performance against additional KPIs is detailed on pages 13-15.
Our people
In 2026, we have continued to refine attention on outcome metrics that support the prevention of serious injuries and fatalities, with Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate for severe injuries (LTIFR >13 Days) embedded across the operations in core management routines.
Ethical business
At the end of 2025, we marked a significant achievement in our third-party certification journey. With the third-party audit against the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) standard at our Los Bronces and Quellaveco copper mines completed by December 2025,
Global voice
Across the first half of 2026, Anglo American continued to contribute to external dialogue that supports the advancement of responsible mining practices across the industry. This included engagement and shared expertise through a range of external forums, ranging from on-going development of responsible mining standards, to participation in forums targeting development of nature and climate disclosure best practice.
Climate change
In the first half of 2026 we continued the work which will deliver our target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 (vs. 2020). Whilst we have been clear that we don’t expect our emissions pathway to be linear, key programmes of work fundamental to the achievement of our target are progressing well.
Nature
Our target across the simplified portfolio is to maintain a continuous, validated pathway to Net Positive Impact on biodiversity throughout the life of our assets. In the first half of 2026, actions to advance our NPI commitments and site-level conservation programmes continued across all our operations.
Water
We take a responsible water stewardship approach that focuses on operational performance, local catchment health and long-term resilience. Our new targets focus on local water priorities and are designed to create value across multiple dimensions, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, community priorities, climate adaption and operational resilience
Livelihoods
Across the simplified portfolio, our target is to support at least 120,000 off-site jobs by 2030 (vs. 2018) and as at end 2025 we have supported 100,678 jobs. Each of our businesses has developed local targets with specific programmes and costed pathways to respond to local community needs.
Education
Across the simplified portfolio, we are making solid progress against our milestones, with targets embedded in business planning and supported by clear delivery pathways.
Health
Our business-specific targets for our simplified portfolio aim to strengthen health systems and address local health priorities.
Social Way
In 2026, we continued to strengthen our social performance capabilities through the optimisation of our Social Way management system.
(1) Sustainability performance indicators for the six months ended June 2026 and the comparative period are not externally assured.
(2) Simplified portfolio includes Kumba, Minas-Rio, Quellaveco and Chile managed operations and excludes Platinum operations divested in May 2025, Steelmaking Coal operations, Nickel operations and De Beers. Comparative data has been represented to be based on the simplified portfolio to align with our strategy targets.
(3) If divestments are made in year, sustainability performance is measured and reported up until the date of divestment.
(4) Exposed worker rate is the number of potentially exposed workers in each hazard exposure group (carcinogens, inhalables and noise) per million hours worked for all workers. We are in the process of rebaselining exposure counts to align with increased regulatory thresholds and expanding scope to include contractors. 2026 is therefore a baseline year against which progress will be measured.
(5) Management includes middle and senior management across the Group.
(6) Data for current and prior period is the five months to 31 May 2026 and 31 May 2025, respectively.
(7) Current and prior period data represented is at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, respectively.
