Company Description

Anglo American is a leading global mining company. Our products are the essential ingredients of almost every aspect of modern life. Our competitive portfolio of world-class operations and undeveloped resources provides the metals and minerals that make a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world possible and meet the growing consumer demands of the world's developed and developing economies.

As a responsible mining company - of diamonds (through De Beers), copper, platinum group metals, iron ore, coal, and nickel - we are the custodians of valuable natural resources. We work together with our business partners and diverse stakeholders to unlock the sustainable value that those resources represent, both for our shareholders, communities, and the countries where we operate and for society as a whole.

Anglo American is re-imagining mining to improve people's lives.

Supply Chain is positioning itself for the future, by becoming more purpose-driven in aid of realizing the Anglo American purpose and driving to be more agile and resilient.
