Delivering through volatile times

(Posted on 12/05/20)

Anglo American Chief Executive, Mark Cutifani, is to present an overview of how Anglo American is “Delivering through volatile times” at Bank of America’s annual Global Metals, Mining and Steel Conference.

Anglo American is a leading global mining company whose products are the essential ingredients in almost every aspect of modern life.

Mr Cutifani said: “We continue to focus on delivering across the many facets of our business. Most immediately, we are proactively managing the health, social and economic effects of the pandemic, considering the entire ecosystem of our business. Our global WeCare programme supports both lives and livelihoods – of our people, their families and our host communities, spanning four pillars: physical health, mental health, living with dignity, and community response. Our operations and host communities must both be healthy to prosper on a sustainable basis.

“The significant and broad-based improvements we have made to our business stand us in good stead, both during this uncertain time and as we move towards the economic recovery phase. Our portfolio and asset quality position us well for the recovery, leveraging our technical, operational and product marketing capabilities to deliver the best returns from our asset base. We see further transformational improvements ahead through our P101 and FutureSmart MiningTM programmes, including driving our operations towards carbon neutrality before 2040. In combination with our ongoing portfolio evolution – with Quellaveco in copper, and Woodsmith in crop nutrients, and our expected exit from our thermal coal operations in South Africa in the next two to three years – we are well positioned for future demand themes and the needs of modern consumers and society.”
