**Additional Information** Who we are**

We aim to lead the industry by pursuing ever safer and more responsible ways of working, demonstrating integrity and showing care and respect for people and the planet. That means we are constantly seeking new opportunities to mine and process our products sustainably, using less water, less energy and more precise extraction technologies. As the custodians of coal and other precious natural resources - diamonds (through De Beers), copper, platinum and other precious metals, iron ore and nickel - our extraordinary teams work safely and collaboratively, with the utmost consideration for local communities, our customers and the world at large.

Nothing is more important to us than ensuring you return home safely after a day’s work. To make that happen, we have the most rigorous safety standards in the industry. Not only that, we’re also continually investing in new technologies - from drones to data analytics - that are helping to make mining safer.

**Inclusion and Diversity**

Anglo American is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace where we value and respect every colleague for who they are and provide equality of opportunity so that everyone can fulfil their potential.
