Anglo walks away with Nedbank honours
Anglo American's commitment to sustainability saw the company win three out of four categories at the sixth annual Nedbank Capital Green Mining Awards in South Africa.
Anglo American's Kumba Iron Ore business won in the sustainability category for its John Taolo Gaetsewe (JTG) Rural Research Project at Sishen Mine in the Northern Cape while Anglo American's Thermal Coal business was joint winner in the environmental category for its Gypsum Housing Project.
Thermal Coal and Kumba Iron Ore were also joint winners in the socio-economic category. Thermal Coal was recognised for its HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme and Kumba Iron Ore for its Ulysses Gogi Modise (UGM) Wellness Clinic at Sishen Mine. The Thermal Coal business also won second place in this category for its Science, Career Guidance and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Resources Centre.
The judges commended Anglo American for caring for its people, the depth of partnerships and its positive contribution to addressing HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
