This document lays out AngloGold?s mission and values and describes
how we live them through our business principles. These principles
are applicable across the company and in all the countries in which
we do business, and they inform the way in which we will go about
achieving our mission, balancing key economic, social, environmental
and ethical values. We acknowledge that they are aspirational in
that we have not yet delivered on all of our commitments but are working
towards this goal. Furthermore, these principles are not cast in
stone but will evolve over time as we interact with our
stakeholders, both internal and external, and refine what it is that

company.
As a point of departure, AngloGold believes that democratic
government and market economies should be mutually reinforcing. We
have, therefore, committed ourselves to a style of corporate
citizenship that supports the values of both democracy and market
economics. |
