A journey towards parity
Beyond board level, we employ a number of incredible women across the company.
One of these standout employees is Prianka Padayachee, a mining engineer in South Africa. Prianka is particularly passionate about mentoring, having gained first-hand experience of its benefits through our coal business’s long-standing mentoring programme.
She believes that by sharing their personal journeys, young women can visualise the path to high achievement and attain professional success.
Now a mentor herself for young woman joining Anglo American and the mining industry, Prianka is a vocal advocate for teaching STEM skills to women and young girls.
As an industry, and within Anglo American, there is still much work to do to ensure gender parity in the workplace. We will continue to work tirelessly to keep this at the top of our corporate agenda.
As we continue to encourage more women and girls into STEM subjects and mining, I look forward to seeing the talented women that come and join our team here at Anglo American. We must continue to advocate for future generations and ensure that, as a business, we can deliver true and lasting equality for an outstanding and deserving workforce.
To all my female colleagues in mining – Happy International Women’s Day!
