Corporate governance

Sound governance principles and practices underpin value creation and the long-term sustainability of our business and our relationships with stakeholders and are crucial to achieving our business objectives and delivering on our business strategy.

AngloGold Ashanti is governed by a unitary Board of Directors, which consists of 11 directors – nine independent non-executive directors and two executive directors.

The seeks to ensure AngloGold Ashanti remains a responsible corporate citizen by delivering on its financial performance objectives and pursuing environment, social and governance (ESG) principles, striving to enhance the economic life of host communities and to protect and minimise harm to the environment. The Board acts with independence and its members have the appropriate competencies and experience to execute their fiduciary duties.

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

As a NYSE-listed entity with secondary listings on the Johannesburg Stock Exchanges (JSE and A2X) and the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), the Group is governed by the requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the NYSE. An assessment undertaken at June 2025 confirmed AngloGold Ashanti’s status as a foreign private issuer for the purposes of SEC and NYSE rules.

While AngloGold Ashanti is a UK-incorporated company, we are not listed in the UK. This means the governance provisions that apply to FTSE-listed businesses, including the UK Corporate Governance Code and UK Listing Rules, do not apply to our business.

The Board is mindful of the governance practices in all the jurisdictions which impact our corporate structure and the governance framework that has been implemented appropriately reflects the Company’s current status and the Board’s ambition.
