Ethics

Our Code of Business Principles and Ethics, together with our values, guides our conduct, our decision-making and that of our contractors.

Our Code of Business Principles and Ethics, together with our values, guides our conduct, our decision-making and that of our contractors.

The Board, recognising that good governance underpins value creation for all stakeholders and the sustainability of the business, provides ethical leadership and is ultimately responsible for our corporate governance.

AngloGold Ashanti also maintains policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including those requiring that accurate accounts and records be maintained. These policies and procedures are used to raise employee and stakeholder awareness relating to bribery and corruption.

It addresses:

In 2023 we launched an updated Code of Business Principles and Ethics to underpin the rollout of AngloGold Ashanti’s new values, demonstrating alignment and consistency of a values-based organisation.

Speak-up

AngloGold Ashanti commits itself to ethical leadership and responsible corporate citizenship. To give credence to this commitment, the Board has approved a Whilstleblowing policy underpinned by a formal Speak-up program to foster organisational accountability, transparency, and individual responsibility by encouraging stakeholders to report violations in a responsible and ethical manner. Speak-up allows for the reporting of misconduct (illegal or otherwise) or unethical activity within an organisation for an independent and objective investigation.

The management of the Speak-up program incorporates the use of a third party, Tip-offs Anonymous, enabling all stakeholders to report confidentially and anonymously.
