Anglo American is a leading global mining company focused on the responsible production of copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients – future-enabling
products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving living standards, and food security. Our portfolio of world-class operations and
outstanding resource endowments offers value-accretive growth potential across all three businesses, positioning us to deliver into structurally attractive
major demand growth trends.
Our integrated approach to sustainability and innovation drives our decision-making across the value chain, from how we discover new resources to how we
mine, process, move and market our products to our customers – safely, efficiently and responsibly. Our Sustainable Mining Plan commits us to a series of
stretching goals over different time horizons to ensure we contribute to a healthy environment, create thriving communities and build trust as a corporate

Anglo American is currently implementing a number of major structural changes to unlock the inherent value in its portfolio and thereby accelerate delivery of
its strategic priorities of Operational excellence, Portfolio simplification, and Growth. This portfolio transformation is focusing Anglo American on its world-
class resource asset base in copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients – with the sale of our steelmaking coal and nickel businesses agreed, the demerger of
our PGMs business (Anglo American Platinum) completed, and the separation of our iconic diamond business (De Beers) to follow.
