Employment

AngloGold Ashanti’s values, as reviewed and redefined in 2008, are underpinned by the philosophy that ‘People are our business... our business is people’. The group’s values specifically state:

We treat each other with dignity and respect

We believe that individuals who are treated with respect and who are entrusted to take responsibility respond by giving their best. We seek to preserve people's dignity, their sense of self-worth in all our interactions, respecting them for who they are and valuing the unique contribution that they can make to our business success. We are honest with ourselves and others, and we deal ethically with all of our business and social partners..

We value diversity

We aim to be a global leader with the right people for the right jobs. We promote inclusion and teamwork, deriving benefit from the rich diversity of the cultures, ideas, experiences and skills that each employee brings to the business.

Giving life to this are the group’s undertakings or business principles related to the group’s labour practices.

For further information on the development and implementation of these values, see the case study: Renewing our commitment to doing things the right way.
