The 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) brings together different stakeholders from around the world with one important purpose – to accelerate action toward the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
At Anglo American we are committed to playing our part. We have ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, embedded in our Sustainable Mining Plan – launched in 2018. This includes a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality across our operations by 2040 and a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 against a 2016 baseline.
Building a net zero future will take a collective effort with many of the commodities in our portfolio – and the industrial segments we serve – critical to enabling a green transition.
That’s why we’re inviting you to take a look at Anglo American’s new Climate Change report, click here.
The report provides stakeholders with a transparent disclosure of our Group’s comprehensive approach to climate change including the work we are doing to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions, our ambitions for scope 3 and case studies highlighting progress being made.
You will have the opportunity to learn more about our current carbon footprint, the significant advances we have already made towards achieving a more sustainable business, and the further interventions required as we seek to further decarbonise our operations, and our value chain.
