Enter the world of FutureSmart Mining™
Our Sustainable Mining Plan, integral to FutureSmart Mining™, is built around three Global Sustainability Pillars and sets out our commitment to stretching goals – driving sustainability outcomes through technology, digitilisation and our innovative approach to sustainable economic development.
Our Sustainable Mining Plan is built around three Global Sustainability Pillars designed to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each pillar has three Stretch Goals that we must reach by 2030 and further goals and ambitions that we will add to these as we progress. They are deliberately ambitious and designed to challenge us to lead and innovate.
Maintaining a healthy environment by creating carbon neutral operations that use less fresh water and deliver positive biodiversity outcomes.
Building thriving communities with better health, education and levels of employment.
Developing trust as a corporate leader, providing ethical value chains and improved accountability to the communities we work with.
Our Sustainable Mining Plan is underpinned by our Critical Foundations.

Environmental, social, governance and commercial issues are often connected; they are part of a complex dynamic system that is constantly evolving. At Anglo American, our work has evolved to match this complexity. Sustainability considerations are integrated into how we work and are central to our decision making as we strive to understand the full impact of each decision we take.
To achieve our shared goals, we need to develop and deliver local sustainability plans that are tailored to the unique sustainability challenges we face at each of our sites.
The daily decisions we all make affect the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, the environment, the communities where we operate and our partnerships with different stakeholders and society at large. So it’s crucial we all know and understand how we can play a part.
Sustainability isn’t a luxury or a choice. It’s our future.
