Diversified miner Anglo American has launched a digital traceability solution called Valutrax, which is designed to provide customers with greater assurance about the provenance of the products they buy.
Valutrax offers a single point of access to core information about products, helping to trace metals and minerals from source to customer using key sustainability indicators.
Anglo base metals marketing head Paul Ward explains that the metals and minerals produced by the group are essential to the global energy transition and improving living standards for a growing population, hence the importance of greater transparency.
He says the Valutrax solution aims to give Anglo’s customers direct access to indicators that can help determine compliance with requirements in their specific industries or jurisdictions and to then make appropriate decisions to support their sustainability strategies and other value drivers.
