Mining and metals companies

Anglo American

Anglo American is a leading global mining company. Its products include diamonds, copper, platinum group metals, iron ore, steelmaking and thermal coal and nickel. The company has mining operations in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. It has exploration and new project interests in Zambia, Angola, Ecuador, Greenland and Finland.

We have been a signatory to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) since its inception. This is built on the belief that to build trust and a sustainable licence to operate, we need to have open and inclusive conversations about the cost-benefits of mining. We remain committed to the multi-stakeholder group approach that lies at the heart of the EITI accountability process and aim to replicate this approach everywhere we operate including in countries which are not EITI signatories.

Statement of Support

Engagement with the EITI

Anglo American has been an active supporter of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative both directly and as part of the International Council on Mining and Metals. It is also one of four mining companies represented on the 2019-2020 EITI Board.

Anglo American participates in multi-stakeholder groups (MSGs) in Peru and Zambia and supported EITI’s outreach efforts in Ecuador. Anglo American sees public disclosure as a key means of building trust in the societies where the mining operations take place.


Strengthening transparency

Anglo American has voluntarily provided information about its tax payments on a country-by-country basis, complying with the 2013 EU Accounting Directive since it was introduced. 

The company compiles a wider Tax and Economic Contribution Report (TECR). Learn more about Anglo American’s TECR reports on Anglo American's website
