AngloGold Ashanti’s strategy and sustainability approach

To deliver on our business objectives, we focus on five core strategies:

  1. people are the business
  2. grow the business
  3. manage the business as an asset portfolio
  4. maximise margins
  5. deliver sustainable outcomes.

Our sustainability strategy and objectives, which are detailed throughout this report, reflect these strategies and seek to address the material sustainability issues which we have identified. Our management approach on sustainability issues is based on our strategy and values and on our philosophy of building mutually beneficial relationships with our host governments and communities. This is detailed under our sustainability performance – in four sections referring to:

  1. safety and health – employees and communities
  2. people
  3. economic performance
  4. environment, community and human rights.
