4. Critical Foundations Critical foundations are the common and minimum requirements for each of Anglo American’s operations and business as a whole. Critical foundations are requirements that are not inherently transformational. Indeed, they are requirements which should be seen as “business as usual” where good performance is the basic expectation of any responsible business. Solid performance in these areas is essential to the long-term credibility and success of the sustainable mining plan. Six critical foundations were identified as the backbone of the Sustainability approach. These were: • Leadership • Safety • Human rights • Diversity and inclusion • Compliance with legal requirements • Implementation of core Anglo American standards and business processes For all these areas, initiatives and programmes are already in place. In the Sustainability plan, the intention is to refer to these existing programmes. 4.1 Leadership & Culture – WESSA Services WESSA Sishen Education Centre is able to offer both Leadership and Team-building programmes to different Mine Teams and Community Groups, focusing on practical on-site activities and discussions, that explore teamwork, leadership skills, delegation, flexibility, creativity and problem-solving. 4.3 Human Rights – WESSA Services WESSA Sishen Education Centre & the WESSA Youth Teams are able to support Anglo Sishen with arranging and operating Special Day events for the mine and the local communities, focusing on the celebration and protection of Human Right’s. Some examples of these are: • The United Nations Human Rights Day Events, and other UN Special Day Events. • South Africa’s Human Rights Day • Mandela Day
