Mark Cutifani , Chief Executive of Anglo American , said : " We have long understood that our sustainability performance , our financial performance and our ability to deliver attractive returns over the long term are inextricably linked . Our strategic choices position us increasingly to supply many of the metals and minerals that are critical to enabling the technologies society needs to decarbonise energy and transport , but also to cater for the needs of an ever - growing global consumer population . " With that responsibility , we recognise that our industry must continue to evolve . Through innovative technologies and practices , we can be more targeted in accessing those metals and minerals , use less water and energy and , crucially , generate fewer GHG emissions . Our FutureSmart Mining ™ programme , using technology to transform our safety and sustainability performance , has helped us make significant progress in recent years and we are accelerating our efforts . Building upon our commitment to carbon neutrality across our operations by 2040 , we have today set our ambition to reduce our Scope 3 emissions by 50 % , also by 2040.
