Over a century of mining excellence, building the future through responsible stewardship
Anglo American is a global leader in mining, providing the metals and minerals that are essential to building a cleaner, more connected world. Founded in 1917, we have grown from a single gold mining operation in South Africa to a diversified, multinational resources company with operations spanning six continents and more than ten countries.
Our purpose is clear: to re-imagine mining to improve peopleβs lives. We believe that mining, done responsibly, creates lasting value for all stakeholders β our shareholders, the communities where we operate, our customers, and society at large. Through our FutureSmart Miningβ’ programme, we are transforming how we extract, process, and deliver the critical minerals the world needs, using less water, less energy, and producing fewer emissions.
We are committed to achieving carbon-neutral operations by 2040, and our integrated sustainability strategy ensures that every decision we make balances economic performance with environmental responsibility and social impact. This is not just an aspiration β it is embedded in everything we do, from how we design our mines to how we engage with host communities.
Re-imagining mining to improve peopleβs lives, creating shared value for communities, shareholders, and customers worldwide.
FutureSmart Miningβ’ deploys cutting-edge technology to make operations safer, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
Investing in education, health, and livelihoods to build thriving communities long after mining operations conclude.
As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, the demand for our products has never been greater. Copper is the backbone of electrification. Iron ore is the foundation of infrastructure. Our crop nutrients feed billions. And diamonds continue to symbolise lifeβs most precious moments through De Beers Group.
Anglo American stands at the intersection of tradition and transformation. We honour our heritage of operational excellence while pioneering new approaches to mining that will define the industry for the next century. Our leadership team brings together diverse perspectives from across the globe, united by a shared commitment to safety, sustainability, and value creation.
Whether you are an investor, customer, community member, or prospective employee, we invite you to learn more about how Anglo American is shaping the future of mining β and the future of the world. Our story is one of ambition, resilience, and an unwavering belief that the resources beneath the earth can be harnessed to build a better future above it.
