- AngloGold Ashanti's aim is to have a positive impact on the people,
cultures and communities in which it operates. Accordingly, AngloGold
Ashanti will be respectful of local and indigenous people, their values,
traditions, culture and the environment.
- We will strive to ensure that surrounding communities are informed
timeously of, and where possible, are involved in developments which affect
them, throughout the lifecycle of our operations.
- We will undertake social investment initiatives in the areas of
need where we can make a practical and meaningful contribution. In particular,
we will contribute to those areas of education and health care which are
relevant to our business activities, and those most likely to be sustainable
once our operations have come to a conclusion in that community.
- The company will encourage its employees to make themselves available for
participatory and leadership roles in community activities.
- We will seek to acquire and use land in a way which promotes the
broadest possible consensus among interested people. Where involuntary
resettlement is unavoidable, we will abide by appropriate guidelines for
resettlement, where they exist, and in any event will work with the local
communities to develop workable plans for any resettlement which may be
necessary.
- We will strive to contribute to the sustainable economic development of
host communities through procurement activities; the contribution of
redundant assets to the community; assistance in the establishment and growth
of small- to medium-sized sustainable enterprises; and the outsourcing of
goods and services from local vendors where appropriate.
