CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY - PROFILE ANGLO AMERICAN
Corporate social investment is at the heart of the way we do business at Anglo American
and it is an important strategic focus for us as a South African mining company. We strive
to become a partner of choice for communities associated with our operations by making
a lasting positive contribution, and by going beyond compliance in everything that we do.
We have spent over R929 million
($128 million) in social development in
2011, which was filtered into a number
of developing countries throughout
the world, including R509 million
($70.1 million) spent in South Africa
alone. This spend was distributed over
10 key social development sectors,
which include education and training,
health and welfare, and community
development, amongst others.
Some encouraging statistics from our
social development initiatives revealed
that community development remained
a major focus of the company in 2011
with over R370 million ($51 million)
or 40 percent of total spend being
filtered to high impact projects
and communities. Equally important
is the spend focused on education
and training, which accounted
for 22 percent of total spend or
R209 million ($28.8 million).
