This Employer Statement relates to Anglo American’s information submitted to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) for the 2024-25 reporting period.
At Anglo American, we believe pay should reflect the value every person brings to our workplace – regardless of gender.
We provide fair, transparent and relevant pay that reflects the expectations of current and future colleagues as well as the contribution they make to our success.
Gender equality is an important part of ensuring we have an inclusive work environment.
One key pillar of that broader strategy is prioritising pay transparency and equity for our people.
We use a rigorous ‘like-for-like’ methodology to compare similar jobs at the same level and location.
Furthermore, we have a robust framework to ensure our pay is managed fairly and equitably:
Anglo American participates in WGEA reporting of our gender pay gap data in Australia.
In 2025, we proudly reported our gender pay gap had reduced to 7.3%, down from 15.4% in 2021 – a 53% reduction in just four years.
This figure is less than half the coal mining industry average pay gap of 16.9% and only a third of the national average pay gap of 21.8%, underscoring our commitment to building a more equitable future.
We are committed to fairness and transparency to realise and sustain ongoing improvements and reduction of the gender pay gap.
Our pay equity statistics are linked to gender representation across our organisation because we still employ more men than women in mining.
Even with fair pay for equal roles, men still hold more of the technical and remote roles, which attract higher allowances (for example: working remotely, working nights and weekends).
About 94% of male employees work onsite, compared to 68% of women.
Similarly, only 38% of female employees work on a roster, compared to 84% of men.
At Anglo American, we tackle this head-on by:
Driving greater female representation in our workforce is a key pillar in our broader strategy for diversity and inclusion.
Achieving pay equality takes time, with sustained effort across the business, and our gender pay gap does highlight further progress is needed.
By providing greater transparency and education around pay, we believe we can help demonstrate to our people that pay decisions and practices remain fair, unbiased and consistent, which can play a significant role in fostering trust.
We are focused not just on numbers but on fair, transparent and meaningful pay that reflects each person’s contribution to our success.
We are building a workplace where every person – of every gender, or no gender – can thrive and succeed at Anglo American in Australia.
