Anglo sign new deal with Aurubis to develop copper products

Anglo American has signed a memorandum of understanding with Aurubis AG , a global provider of non- ferrous metals and one of the world’s largest copper recyclers to develop copper product offerings that respond to increasing expectations for future- enabling metals that are sustainably sourced and supplied. The objective of the collaboration is to provide assurance around the way copper is mined, processed, transported and brought to market. Applying their combined expertise, Anglo American and Aurubis will also explore the opportunity for technology- driven traceability solutions to bring greater transparency to the entire production cycle, as well as areas of common interest in technology development. “Copper plays such a pivotal role in addressing the challenges of climate change and raising living standards for the world’s growing population. Rightly, it needs to be produced sustainably and as part of a customer- centric supply chain,” said Anglo American’s marketing business CEO, Peter Whitcutt.
