Anglo American’s vision for procurement is:
“sustainable, responsible local procurement that positively contributes to a resilient supply chain and the economic and social development of the communities in which we operate”.
The vision is supported by a set of underlying principles and a policy that contains specific commitments such as:
- Developing procurement guidelines, standards and supporting tools that are actively promoted in the workplace and embedded in business processes
- Allocating appropriate resources and building the required internal capacity to enable effective delivery of a strategy for local procurement
- Having a strategy for local procurement for each operation and project
- Minimising barriers for small and medium enterprises in the procurement process
- Supporting the development of commercially viable local businesses that meet Anglo American requirements
- Reporting internally and externally on the company’s local procurement progress and assessing compliance with its policy
