As miners, we interact with thenatural environment and communities every day,which brings a deep responsibility to operatesustainably for people and our planet.Nature is not a new topic for the mining sector;indeed, a 2023 ICMM survey,Understanding thePerceptions of Mining, indicated that taking actionon nature is the most important thing we can do tochange negative perceptions of mining. Throughenvironmental and social impact assessments,we understand the complex interconnectivity ofnature with stakeholders where we work. Coupledwith our collective experience in delivering large-scale projects, we can help restore ecosystemsand habitats beyond our footprint and at scale,in partnership with others. We have also madepositive steps towards commitments for naturein recent years, including through ICMM’s 2024Nature Position Statement.The metals and minerals the world needs willincreasingly be found in areas that are morecomplex from a physical and socio-economicperspective, and where water and biodiversityare of critical importance, raising the challengeof balancing competing resource needs. At ourQuellaveco copper mine in Peru, we implementeda transformative water management approach tobalance operational needs with community andenvironmental priorities. We rerouted the AsanaRiver outside the mine site to preserve its roleas a vital freshwater source for the community.Additionally, we built the Vizcachas dam, a sharedvalue infrastructure project, to capture excess waterduring the rainy season and allow the seasonal riverto flow throughout the year, enhancing both waterDuncan WanbladChief Executive,Anglo American availability and quality for downstream agriculturaland community users. Our operations, meanwhile,use the water from the Titire River as the mainwater source, which is unsuitable for agriculture andhuman consumption due to its high volcanic mineralcontent. The project was successful due to adeep dialogue process with local stakeholders andan innovative approach to delivering sustainablesolutions as part of securing our license to operate.This is the experience we are taking forward at ournext developments at Woodsmith in the UK andthen at Sakatti in Finland.As a sector, we must integrate work to protect andrestore nature with work on climate, water and socialimpact into all aspects of an operation throughoutits life, from exploration to life beyond mining.Strengthened data and disclosure, supported byinitiatives such as the Taskforce for Nature-relatedFinancial Disclosures (TNFD), can help keep usaccountable and identify opportunities for collectiveaction. We have a role in supporting regional andlocal governments with the delivery of theGlobalBiodiversity Frameworkgoals to accelerate theprotection and restoration of nature. Of course,we cannot do this alone. Through building trust,collaborative relationships and strategic partnershipswith communities, governments and partnersacross industries and the entire value chain, wecan ensure that we are preventing and mitigatingadverse impacts while catalysing a systemic andsustai
