Anglo commits to ambitious sustainability strategy
Diversified mining company Anglo American has outlined an innovative approach to three major areas of sustainability – the environment, community development and driving greater trust and transparency across the mining industry.
Its ambitious goals include c
- reating five jobs off-site for every job on site in its host communities;
- orking with government to ensure that every school in host communitiesis is among the top 20% of State schools in the country;
- educing greenhouse-gas emissions by 30%;
- improving energy efficiency by 30%; and
- educing fresh water abstraction by 50% in water-scarce regions.
“Delivering on these commitments will transform the way Anglo American does business,” said Anglo American CEO Mark Cutifani in a release to Creamer Media’s Mining Weekly.
Presenting a different picture of the future of mining, the sustainability strategy commits to keeping people and the environment safe, supporting excellent education and using collaborative regional development to provide sustainable benefits for host communities.
“The financial benefits to our business by 2030 are expected to be significant, including [benefits] from substantially reduced energy and water costs. “At the same time, we expect our innovative approach and the technologies we are developing to open up new mineral resource opportunities for us over the medium term,” Cutifani added.
