Our Thriving Communities Programme
To help us to deliver our purpose – to re-imagine mining to improve people’s lives – each of Anglo American’s operations has a Sustainable Mining Plan.
This aims to ensure that we make a positive contribution to socio-economic development, reduce our environmental footprint, and that we are transparent and accountable to our stakeholders.
Our Thriving Communities Programme is the part of this Sustainable Mining Plan which focuses on delivering social and economic benefits in the local area.
This is in addition to the direct economic impact generated by the thousands of jobs created by the project and our expenditure across our supply chain.
The programme, which started in 2021, includes a broad range of activities under three main pillars, Livelihoods, Education and Health.
