Anglo American wins international award for Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT)

Anglo American's Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) has won the International Association for Impact Assessment's (IAIA) 2012 "Corporate Initiative Award".

SEAT identifies an effective process that helps create and implement a company's sustainable development policies. Launched in 2003 and enhanced in 2007 and 2011/12, SEAT has been implemented at all Anglo American operations across the globe.

IAIA is the leading global network on best practice in the use of impact assessment for informed decision-making regarding policies, programs, plans and projects. The IAIA award for a corporate initiative is presented to a private or public sector company for a specific activity or project that has made a notable contribution to responsible development practice through the application of impact assessment. SEAT was nominated by academics in Holland and Australia familiar with the toolbox and its eight years of success.

IAIA states the "award is being given to Anglo American's Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) because it is a unique attempt by a major company to incorporate impact assessment into the on-going management of major operations."

Anglo American will receive the award at the annual IAIA conference in May.
