Any other information about payment terms

Anglo American continues to manage and monitor the measures implemented in H1 2020. We are seeing an improvement in performance and continue to pursue these measures.

We have further extended our use of PCard for infrequent low value supplier spend enabling immediate payment typically to smaller organisations.

We are further looking to track payment based on the date of invoice received to improve data accuracy.
