Clare Davage
Deputy Company Secretary
Anglo American is a leading global mining company and our
products are the essential ingredients in almost every aspect of
modern life. Our portfolio of world-class competitive operations,
with a broad range of future development options, provides many of
the future-enabling metals and minerals for a cleaner, greener,
more sustainable world and that meet the fast growing every day
demands of billions of consumers. With our people at the heart of
our business, we use innovative practices and the latest
technologies to discover new resources and to mine, process, move
and market our products to our customers - safely and
sustainably.
As a responsible producer of diamonds (through De Beers),
copper, platinum group metals, premium quality iron ore and
steelmaking coal, and nickel - with crop nutrients in development -
we are committed to being carbon neutral across our operations by
2040. More broadly, our Sustainable Mining Plan commits us to a
series of stretching goals to ensure we work towards a healthy
environment, creating thriving communities and building trust as a
corporate leader. We work together with our business partners and
diverse stakeholders to unlock enduring value from precious natural
resources for the benefit of the communities and countries in which
we operate, for society as a whole, and for our shareholders. Anglo
American is re-imagining mining to improve people's lives.
Forward-looking statements and third-party information
This document includes forward-looking statements. All
statements other than statements of historical facts included in
this document, including, without limitation, those regarding Anglo
American's financial position, business, acquisition and divestment
strategy, dividend policy, plans and objectives of management for
future operations, prospects and projects (including development
plans and objectives relating to Anglo American's products,
production forecasts and Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource
positions) and sustainability performance related (including
environmental, social and governance) goals, ambitions, targets,
visions, milestones and aspirations, are forward-looking
statements. By their nature, such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
Anglo American or industry results to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous
assumptions regarding Anglo American's present and future business
strategies and the environment in which Anglo American will operate
in the future. Important factors that could cause Anglo American's
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others,
levels of actual production during any period, levels of global
demand and commodity market prices, unanticipated downturns in
business relationships with customers or their purchases from Anglo
American, mineral resource exploration and project development
capabilities and delivery, recovery rates and other operational
capabilities, safety, health or environmental incidents, the
effects of global pandemics and outbreaks of infectious diseases,
the impact of attacks from third parties on our information
systems, natural catastrophes or adverse geological conditions,
climate change and extreme weather events, the outcome of
litigation or regulatory proceedings, the availability of mining
and processing equipment, the ability to obtain key inputs in a
timely manner, the ability to produce and transport products
profitably, the availability of necessary infrastructure (including
transportation) services, the development, efficacy and adoption of
new or competing technology, challenges in realising resource
estimates or discovering new economic mineralisation, the impact of
foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating
costs, the availability of sufficient credit, liquidity and
counterparty risks, the effects of inflation, terrorism, war,
conflict, political or civil unrest, uncertainty, tensions and
disputes and economic and financial conditions around the world,
evolving societal and stakeholder requirements and expectations,
shortages of skilled employees, unexpected difficulties relating to
acquisitions or divestitures, competitive pressures and the actions
of competitors, activities by courts, regulators and governmental
authorities such as in relation to permitting or forcing closure of
mines and ceasing of operations or maintenance of Anglo American's
assets and changes in taxation or safety, health, environmental or
other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo American
operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and
such other risk factors identified in Anglo American's most recent
Annual Report. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be
construed in light of such risk factors and undue reliance should
not be placed on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this document. Anglo
American expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except
as required by applicable law, the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers, the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the Listings Requirements
of the securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South
Africa, the SIX Swiss Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange and
the Namibian Stock Exchange and any other applicable regulations)
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statement contained herein to reflect any change in Anglo
American's expectations with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based.
Nothing in this document should be interpreted to mean that
future earnings per share of Anglo American will necessarily match
or exceed its historical published earnings per share. Certain
statistical and other information about Anglo American included in
this document is sourced from publicly available third-party
sources. As such it has not been independently verified and
presents the views of those third parties, but may not necessarily
correspond to the views held by Anglo American and Anglo American
expressly disclaims any responsibility for, or liability in respect
of, such information.
APPIX A - Principal risks
We define a principal risk as a risk or combination of risks
that would threaten the business model, future performance,
solvency or liquidity of Anglo American. In addition to these
principal risks, we
continue to be exposed to other risks related to currency,
inflation, community relations, environment, litigation and
regulatory proceedings, changing societal expectations,
infrastructure and human resources. These risks are subject to our
normal procedures to identify, implement and oversee appropriate
mitigation actions, supported by internal audit work to provide
assurance over the status of controls or mitigating actions. These
principal risks are considered over the next three years as a
minimum, but we recognise that many of them will be relevant for
a longer period.
For more on Principal risks see pages 69 - 73
Catastrophic risks
We also face certain risks that we deem catastrophic risks.
These are very high severity, very low likelihood events that could
result in multiple fatalities or injuries, an unplanned fundamental
change to strategy or the way we operate, and have significant
financial consequences. We do not consider likelihood when
assessing these risks, as the potential impacts mean these risks
must be treated as a priority. Catastrophic risks are included as
principal risks.
For more on catastrophic risks see page 69
Risk appetite
We define risk appetite as 'the nature and extent of risk Anglo
American is willing to accept in relation to the pursuit of its
objectives'. We look at risk appetite from the context of severity
of the consequences should the risk materialise, any relevant
internal or external factors influencing the risk, and the status
of management actions to mitigate or control the risk. A scale is
used to help determine the limit of appetite for each risk,
recognising that risk appetite will change over time.
If a risk exceeds appetite, it will threaten the achievement of
objectives and may require a change to strategy. Risks that are
approaching the limit of the Group's risk appetite may require
management actions to be accelerated or enhanced to ensure the
risks remain within appetite levels.
For catastrophic and operational risks, our risk appetite for
exceptions or deficiencies in the status of our controls that have
safety implications is very low. Our internal audit programme
evaluates these controls with technical experts at operations and
the results of that audit work will determine the risk appetite
evaluation, along with the management response to any issues
identified.
For more on the risk management and internal control systems and
the review of their effectiveness See pages 157-159
Summary
Our risk profile evolved in 2022, mainly due to external
factors. Macro-economic uncertainty increased as a result of the
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, global inflation and economic
slowdowns in key markets. The regulatory environment in which we
operate remains impacted by political and societal changes in key
countries, which could affect future production and delay the
deployment of new technologies to support future production and
sustainability objectives. Operationally, we have identified
reliance on third-party infrastructure and power supply as a
heightened risk, particularly in South Africa. Climate change
remains one of the defining challenges of our era and our
unequivocal commitment to being part of the global response
presents both opportunities and risks. A number of our principal
risks are directly or indirectly related to climate change and our
strategies to reduce its impact on our business, and the
planet.
Our catastrophic risks are the highest priority risks, given the
potential consequences.

APPENDIX C - Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect
of the financial statements
The directors are responsible for preparing the Integrated
Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with
applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors
have prepared the Group financial statements in accordance with
UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and the Parent
Company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting
Standards, comprising FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework", and
applicable law).
Under company law, directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the Group and Parent Company and of
the profit or loss of the Group for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are
required to:
-- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently
-- State whether applicable UK-adopted International Accounting
Standards have been followed for the Group financial statements
and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS
101 have been followed for the Parent Company financial
statements, subject to any material departures disclosed
and explained in the financial statements
-- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable
and prudent
-- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and
Parent Company will continue in business
The directors are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
Group and Parent Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are also responsible for keeping adequate
accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the
Group's and Parent Company's transactions and disclose with
