OUR CSI FOCUS AREAS

EDUCATION Our education- related CSI initiatives include: supporting early childhood development, improving maths, science and language skills, teacher and learner development, developing infrastructure for rural primary schools and supporting schools for learners with special needs.

More than 1,200 employees, contractors and community members have enrolled in adult basic education and training programmes offered by our business units.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP We aim to be at the forefront of global thought leadership in alleviating poverty, promoting health and education and fostering community development.

Our groundbreaking R3,5 billion community trust scheme in Anglo American Platinum Ltd will benefit communities and labour-sending areas in an enduring 30-year partnership.

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Our CSI activities relating to sustainable community development include, providing welfare support, working towards sustainable livelihoods through skills training and job creation and supporting capacity building for enterprise development.

POLICY AND ADVOCACY Our CSI policies and advocacy are underpinned by our moral obligation to contribute to the transformation of the mining industry and the country as a whole.

Our business units have already achieved the Mining Charter’s 2014 minimum target of 26% BEE ownership to enable meaningful economic participation of HDSAs in the mining industry.

HEALTH Our CSI activities in health include working towards the prevention of HIV/AIDS, strengthening primary healthcare and providing meaningful and effective healthcare and support to our employees and the communities in which we operate.

We have pledged over R24,63 million over three years to both the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations (GAVI).

We recognise that it takes a

SUSTAINED EFFORTto bring about meaningful change.

At Anglo American we recognise the importance of engaging and working in collaboration with the communities in which we operate. Therefore, we continue to play a meaningful role in mine community development, guided not only by the Mining Charter and our associated social and labour plans (SLPs) but, importantly, also by our corporate citizenship principles.

We pride ourselves on the level of direct participation we continue to see in the communities that are affected by our mining operations, and the benefits that this is generating.

We have embarked on extensive initiatives to develop mine communities and labour-sending areas. Business units spent more than R694 million on various community development initiatives (including corporate social investment) in 2012 alone. These initiatives contribute directly to progressing SLP commitments, which are aligned to municipal integrated development plans (IDPs). Every one of our operations has an SLP, which works specifically towards establishing and improving health and welfare, education and infrastructure within our mining communities.

These plans are developed through a consultative process with local municipalities as well as through regular interaction with host communities to ensure that the identified projects are sustainable and in line with their needs. However, our initiatives are broader than just our SLPs, and we have enjoyed a number of enterprise development and CSI successes, including some projects that would normally be the responsibility of municipalities.

We have also experienced great success in certain areas where we contribute to communities, specifically in the fight against HIV/AIDS, where more than 90% of our employees on average check their HIV status annually through our voluntary workplace HIV counselling and testing programmes and, more than 70% of HIV positive employees are receiving HIV treatment via our programme and are living healthy productive lives.

ZIMELEAnother very successful initiative of Anglo American with regards to community development is Zimele.

Zimele is Anglo American’s enterprise development and investment initiative and is a catalyst for emerging black businesses in South Africa by supporting sustainable and commercially viable small and medium enterprises through the provision of skills training and funding.

Zimele comprises the Anglo American Khula Mining Fund, the Supply Chain Fund, the Community Fund and the Green Fund, all of which have a key focus of creating employment opportunities within the communities in which we operate and beyond.
