Gender Pay Gap Report – UK

Our UK mean hourly pay gap stands at 24.1%. This marks a further 6.8% reduction from 2024, building on the 8.0% improvement achieved between 2022 and 2024. While we are encouraged by this sustained progress, the remaining gap is primarily due to the concentration of men in our most senior UK head office positions, as highlighted in our quartile analysis. 

On a global level, our gender pay gap now stands at 9.7%, demonstrating the greater balance across our international operations. This marks a considerable improvement from 14.2% in 2024, driven by co-ordinated efforts and targeted initiatives across our global business.

Metric 3 ranks Anglo American’s 400 UK employees’ hourly pay from lowest to highest and then splits the number of employees into equally sized groups.

While the chart highlights a slight decrease in female representation in the lower and upper middle quartiles and an increase in the upper quartile from 2024 to 2025, signalling positive progress, male employees continue to be proportionally more represented in the higher pay quartiles than female employees.

Anglo American’s UK performance pay schemes operate irrespective of gender, with the majority of UK employees eligible to receive variable bonus pay during the year. 2025 saw 92% of male and 92% of female employees receive a bonus.

The bonus pay gap continues to be influenced by the same structural factors as the hourly pay gap, with more men than women represented in the most senior UK headquarters roles. These senior roles typically have higher variable performance pay opportunities than roles in the wider workforce, which contributes to the gap. The ongoing reduction in the mean bonus pay gap for 2025 reflects the increasing representation of women in senior positions, although the full effect of this shift is moderated by multi year bonus vesting periods.
