Origins

We have developed a Sustainable Mining Plan that will foster innovation and deliver step change results across the entire mining value chain.

In 1972, Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, was the host city for the Conference on the Human Environment, the world’s first major conference on environmental issues. In December of that year, the United Nations designated 5 June as World Environment Day.

The day was designed to remind us that the protection and health of the environment is the responsibility of all of us. It’s a major issue that affects the wellbeing of people and economic development around the world.

More than 50 years on from that first conference, at Anglo American a Healthy Environment is one of the three pillars of our Sustainable Mining Plan.

In the animation below we’re sharing an update on the progress we’re making against the goals and targets we set ourselves related to that pillar:
