Download full PDF Portfolio The quality and long life of our mineral assets are the foundation of our global business. We focus on securing and operating assets that offer – either in isolation or in combination with other assets in the portfolio – the most attractive long-term value creation potential, as measured by sustainable cash flow and returns. The scale of our portfolio allows us to leverage our financial resources, technical expertise, and supplier relationships towards delivery on our potential and to the benefit of our customers. The diverse composition of the portfolio creates a measured risk profile and supports strong returns by balancing and optimising the concentration of our investments across: Products (supply) End markets (demand); and Geographies (political, regulatory and other country-specific considerations). Innovation Across every aspect of our business, we are thinking innovatively about how we work to ensure the safety of our people, enhance our sustainability performance, and deliver industry-leading margins and returns. We are developing a replicable model of differentiated practices and capabilities that is designed to deliver superior value to all our stakeholders from assets that are in our hands. 01 Our unique Operating Model is designed to support the transformation of asset performance. The focus on stable and predictable delivery provides a foundation for continuous and sustainable operating improvement. Previous Next People Our people are critical to all that we do. The partnerships we build, both within Anglo American and with our stakeholders – locally and globally, are central to maintaining our regulatory and social licences to operate and our sustained commercial success. And our continued delivery builds trust with our shareholders to ensure their ongoing investment support. For our people, we create working environments and an inclusive and diverse culture that encourages and supports high performance and innovative thinking. Our Organisation Model ensures we have the right people in the right roles doing the right value-adding work at the right time, with clear accountabilities minimising work duplication and increasing organisation capability and effectiveness. Capital allocation Underpinning our portfolio, the innovative practices that we apply and our world-class people, we have a value-focused approach to capital allocation with clear prioritisation, as follows: Maintain asset integrity; Ensure a strong balance sheet; and Pay dividends to our shareholders, determined on an earnings based payout ratio. Discretionary capital is then allocated towards the best value outcome, either by investing for profitable growth or making additional returns to shareholders. Growth investment is subject to a robust risk framework, using capital scheduling and partnering where appropriate, to ensure that the balance sheet remains robust through the investment cycle. From our high-quality portfolio of assets, through the innovative approaches to driving value that we apply, delivered by our world class team of people, we believe that we are positioned to drive attractive long term growth and sustainable returns to our shareholders. Our values Our strategy provides the roadmap for our business, and our values guide our behaviours while on the journey. These six values form the blueprint for our way of working: INNOVATION We challenge assumptions, seek other perspectives and pursue innovative opportunities to transform our business. SAFETY We give our all to eliminating injuries because we value life and are unconditional about safety, health and well-being at work and at home.
