Anglo American

Anglo American is a global mining company with operations and a substantial presence in South Africa. Its purpose is to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives, guided by FutureSmart Mining, an innovation-led approach focused on sustainable mining. The company produces minerals and materials used in everyday life and infrastructure, including platinum, thermal coal, diamonds and iron ore. Diamonds serve jewellery markets as well as industrial and technology applications, while iron ore is a key ingredient in steel used for construction, engineering and transport infrastructure.

The company promotes responsible sourcing, health and safety, environmental stewardship and relationships with the communities and countries where it operates. Through initiatives such as Zimele, it supports enterprise and youth development, and it also provides education programmes and community investment. Its website offers information about its operations, sustainability strategy, reports, production updates and supplier requirements. With a focus on innovation and long-term sustainability, Anglo American presents its products as essential materials for modern life and the transition towards a more sustainable future.
