Sustainable development starts with people. When individuals and communities have access to the skills, knowledge and resources they need to succeed, they are better equipped to create opportunities for themselves, strengthen local economies and build a more resilient future.

At Anglo American, we believe that meaningful progress is achieved by investing not only in our operations, but also in the communities where we operate. By supporting education, skills development, entrepreneurship and local enterprise growth, we aim to help create the foundations for long-term social and economic development.

Building long-term partnerships

Strong communities are built on strong capabilities. Across our operations, we work alongside local stakeholders to identify opportunities that can help people unlock their potential and achieve sustainable growth.

Through initiatives such as AgroQuellaveco, we support local farmers in achieving their ambitions by providing the tools, knowledge and resources needed to improve productivity, expand their operations and build more sustainable livelihoods. These efforts not only help strengthen individual farms and improve family economic security, but also contribute to the development of a stronger regional agricultural value chain.

The programme is managed by the Santa Catalina Savings and Credit Cooperative and forms part of a broader set of Anglo American initiatives aimed at strengthening agriculture in Moquegua through financial, technical and technological support.

By creating opportunities for knowledge-sharing, innovation and skills development, we aim to help local producers adapt to changing conditions and improve the long-term sustainability of their businesses. This approach is about more than improving outcomes today. It is about helping communities build the capabilities and confidence needed to thrive well into the future.

Supporting sustainable economic growth

Since its launch in 2020, Agro Quellaveco has provided loans to over 469 producers. The programme has supported agricultural production across more than 1,300 hectares and has helped generate approximately 133,000 workdays in the agricultural sector.

Stronger local enterprises help create employment opportunities, support regional supply chains and foster greater economic participation. In turn, this helps build more resilient communities that are better positioned to generate lasting prosperity and invest in their own future.

At Anglo American, our commitment to sustainable development is rooted in the belief that lasting value is created when people have the opportunity to succeed. By investing in skills, knowledge and capability-building initiatives, we are helping communities strengthen their foundations for future growth.
