Corporate governance

Governance is at the heart of responsible mining. Sound governance principles and practices underpin the creation of value and the sustainability of the business.

The board has oversight of sustainability risks and opportunities and additional focus and oversight is provided by the Social, Ethics and Sustainability Committee. Primary responsibility for managing sustainability matters rests with AngloGold Ashanti’s leadership, in particular the Executive Vice President: Corporate Affairs who is responsible for executing the sustainability strategy.

A culture of transparent reporting – internal and external – ensures compliance to AngloGold Ashanti’s policies and procedures and that challenges can be addressed as they arise.

In compliance with best practice, and to meet its obligations in terms of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, NYSE and JSE Rules and the King Report IV on Corporate Governance, AngloGold Ashanti’s Board of directors has adopted policies, procedures and guiding principles as part of the company’s corporate governance guidelines.
