Anglo American plc is a British multinational mining company headquartered in London, England, renowned as one of the world's leading producers in critical minerals. It specializes in the extraction and production of platinum—the largest globally at about 40% of world output—alongside diamonds through its 85% ownership of De Beers, copper, nickel, iron ore, polyhalite fertilizers, and steelmaking coal. With operations spanning Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, the company manages key assets like the Quellaveco copper mine in Peru, Minas-Rio iron ore in Brazil, and Kumba Iron Ore in South Africa. Founded in 1917 by Ernest Oppenheimer, Anglo American plc evolved from South African gold mining roots into a global powerhouse, listing primarily on the London Stock Exchange as a FTSE 100 constituent. Recent strategic shifts include divesting thermal coal assets, demerging its platinum division as Valterra Platinum in 2025, and merging with Teck Resources in 2025 to form Anglo Teck, enhancing its position as the second-largest copper producer. Committed to sustainability, it targets carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040 while employing around 60,000 people across 56 operations in 15 countries. Anglo American plc plays a pivotal role in supplying essential materials for energy transition, infrastructure, and agriculture worldwide.
