Anglo American updates on sustainability progress – carbon neutrality, thriving communities and
workplace culture

Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) is today presenting its regular sustainability performance update,
including progressing towards carbon neutral operations, creating thriving communities, and building a
safe, inclusive and diverse workplace culture.

Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: “Addressing climate change is an increasingly
urgent challenge for all businesses. With our diversified product portfolio, we are well-placed to
responsibly deliver many of the critical metals and minerals the world requires to transition to a cleaner,
greener world. Our commitment to being part of the solution begins in our own business by meeting our
carbon neutrality goals, while recognising that partnerships are vital to deliver our shared endeavour of
a low carbon future.

“Everyone needs to play their part, from governments and businesses, to civil society and individuals. It
is essential we also support skills and jobs and help catalyse new economic activity because this transition
must include all of society – it must be ‘Just’. Through our Collaborative Regional Development approach,
we act as a development partner to help improve lives by catalysing thriving communities with diversified
economies that endure and prosper well beyond our presence.”

Carbon neutral operations by 2040

Anglo American is progressing towards its ambition to become carbon neutral across our operations by
2040. At the end of 2022, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 21% below the peak levels of 2019. This
significant reduction reflects our transition to 100% renewable electricity supply across our South
America operations, with Australia to follow in 2025. In southern Africa, now our largest source of Scope
2 emissions, we have partnered with EDF Renewables to develop 3-5 GW of clean generation capacity
over the next decade.

While Scope 3 emissions reduction is largely dependent on the decarbonisation of our value chains and
the steel industry in particular, which represents the significant majority of our footprint, we are
progressing on our target to halve these emissions by 2040. With this in mind, we are working with several
prominent steelmaking customers to help develop cleaner steelmaking technologies. We are also cutting
carbon emissions in our shipping activities through the introduction of our 10-strong LNG dual-fuelled
“Ubuntu” shipping fleet over the course of 2023 and 2024, with two capesize vessels already in service
and offering up to a 35% emissions reduction compared to conventional fuel.

Thriving communities through local procurement and livelihoods programmes

Anglo American’s Sustainable Mining Plan commits us to supporting three jobs offsite for every job in our
operations by 2025, increasing to five offsite jobs by 2030, with our focus on local procurement and our

Collaborative Regional Development (CRD) approach playing a major role. Through CRD, we are making
further investments with our partners in agriculture, agro-processing, municipal capacity-building, and
education, catalysing diversification within local economies and helping to ensure the positive impacts of
our operations are felt beyond the life of mine. By the end of 2022, we had supported 115,000 jobs
through local procurement and socio-economic development programmes since the launch of our
Sustainable Mining Plan in 2018, supporting 1.8 offsite jobs for every onsite job in relevant countries.

Building a safe, inclusive and diverse workplace culture

Anglo American promotes a safe, inclusive and diverse environment where every colleague is valued and
respected for who they are and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. We go beyond physical safety
by helping to create an environment of psychological safety. In November, as part of our Living with
Dignity programme, we launched our first Living with Dignity hub in South Africa. The Hub is an
independently managed facility that provides victims of gender-based violence, bullying, harassment and
victimisation (whether in the workplace or at home in the form of domestic violence) an independent
reporting channel, as well as expert psycho-social and legal support.

In 2022, we embarked on accreditation with the Fair Wage Network and we are proud to have been
awarded status as a committed global living wage employer in January 2023. Anglo American is the first
mining company to reach this milestone. Beyond the mining sector, Anglo American is the third company
in the world to be Living Wage globally accredited by the Fair Wage Network.

Notes to editors:

Anglo American is a leading global mining company and our products are the essential ingredients in
almost every aspect of modern life. Our portfolio of world-class competitive operations, with a broad
range of future development options, provides many of the future-enabling metals and minerals for a
cleaner, greener, more sustainable world and that meet the fast growing every day demands of billions
of consumers. With our people at the heart of our business, we use innovative practices and the latest
technologies to discover new resources and to mine, process, move and market our products to our
customers – safely and sustainably.

As a responsible producer of diamonds (through De Beers), copper, platinum group metals, premium
quality iron ore and steelmaking coal, and nickel – with crop nutrients in development – we are
committed to being carbon neutral across our operations by 2040. More broadly, our Sustainable Mining
Plan commits us to a series of stretching goals to ensure we work towards a healthy environment,
creating thriving communities and building trust as a corporate leader. We work together with our
business partners and diverse stakeholders to unlock enduring value from precious natural resources for
the benefit of the communities and countries in which we operate, for society as a whole, and for our
shareholders. Anglo American is re-imagining mining to improve people’s lives.
