"I believe that our main priorities are improving our safety performance; managing our relationships with communities; and responding to the challenge of climate change, which includes securing access to water. The way in which we manage these issues will have a profound influence on the future of our business, which is why we have embedded the principles of sustainable development into our strategy, our values, and through to the policies and processes that shape the way we operate.

The WETT pilot at Anglo American Platinum achieved a 21% improvement in water efficiency during the first year of its implementation. In 2011, 66% of our operations’ water requirements were met by recycling or re-using water.
