Our approach

As a global leader in the mining industry, we are accountable to all of our stakeholders. We aim to be at the forefront of the pressing issues facing society today, ranging from climate change to public health. We are proud to be advocates for what we believe is right and to work as partners to solve complex problems through our public policy engagement.

Policy Advocacy - milestones and targets

2025

Regular involvement in priority policy and governance debates.

Governance and infrastructure

Governance and infrastructure

That's why, we have a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that best practice is observed.

We have a Corporate Relations Council that is chaired by a member of the Group Management Committee and involves representatives of all our business units worldwide. It meets twice a year and reviews any salient governance issues referring them up to the Sustainability Committee of the Board as necessary.

We also have a Government Relations country plan for each country where we operate which charts how we plan to engage the relevant politicians and civil servants. We do not make political donations so any funding request by or for Government is subject to particular scrutiny and the costs have to be strictly proportionate to what is to be delivered. We have a Business Integrity team and an independent Speak-Up system called “Your Voice” to catch and monitor any suspected contraventions.

Consultations and considerations

We are careful about being party to lobbying.

In 2019, 2021 and 2023, we reviewed any differences between our policy positions and those of the organisations of which we are a member, concentrating on the areas of climate change and human rights.

We have also reported on the sums of money we would attribute as having been spent in support of a certain policy outcome, eg for giving hydrogen fuel-cell technology equal footing with battery electric in low-emission transport schemes.

We have reported this figure as US $125,000 in 2021 (eg to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index). We will also aim to consult relevant civil society stakeholders before engaging in any lobbying – for example if we want to promote ethical product stewardship schemes or to encourage countries to join international initiatives such as the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights or the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative.

Industry associations

Industry associations play an important role for Anglo American around the world. Our memberships of, and partnerships with, industry associations allow us to share best practice and be well informed on relevant technical, political and social developments. They also offer a route for Anglo American’s voice to be amplified alongside peer companies in policy and other debates.

Strong governance around our memberships is crucial to ensure that we maximise the mutual benefits of our engagement and minimise any risks. How Anglo American governs our memberships is outlined in the Code of Conduct, with more detail in the Group International and Government Relations Policy and the Group Business Integrity Policy.

We are committed to being transparent about our memberships of industry associations and we publish on this page all relevant details of those memberships, including Anglo American’s financial contribution to each association. In 2023, our contributions to the marketing of diamond through the Natural Diamond Council and platinum through the Platinum Guild International totalled around US$85 million. We made contributions totalling a further US$18.4 million to all other industry associations. The amount disclosed relates to membership fees and/or other payments to associations, including programmes run by the associations, apart from where reasons of commercial confidentiality require us to withhold disclosure.

Any questions about our memberships can be directed to
