AngloGold Ashanti subscribes firmly to behaving ethically and abiding by the rule of law in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
The Group appreciates that business ethics extend beyond legal compliance, and form the foundation for a transparent, positive work culture.
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-bribery and corruption laws, including those covering conflicts of interest, insider trading and trade controls.
These policies and procedures are enforced and supported by:
- Group-wide ethics and compliance training programmes
- Compliance monitoring programmes
- Internal forensic monitoring and investigations
- Our Code of Business Principles and Ethics
- A Supplier Code of Conduct
- Comprehensive Sarbanes-Oxley control programme
- Data privacy management framework and processes
- A confidential and anonymous Speak-up programme, to enable internal and external parties to raise concerns for appropriate investigation and remedial action
AngloGold Ashanti is committed to ethical leadership and responsible corporate citizenship. As part of this commitment, the Company has a Speak-up Standard supported by a formal Speak-up program to promote organisational accountability, transparency, and individual responsibility.
The program encourages stakeholders to report potential violations in a responsible and ethical manner. It provides a secure channel for raising concerns about misconduct – whether illegal or unethical – for independent and objective investigation.
The Speak-up program uses NAVEX, an independent third-party provider, to ensure confidential and anonymous reporting for all stakeholders. In 2025, we extended the programme by introducing new 24/7 Speak-up channels via telephone, desktop, mobile, and QR codes for quick and easy access. These channels also support a multitude of local languages. This aligns with our ongoing efforts to augment organisational practices, enhance channels to report misconduct, and improve case management, investigation and feedback capabilities.
You can submit a report through Speak-up. You can also report to your Line Management, the Human Resources function, Group Compliance, Group Legal or Group Internal Audit.

Good citizenship and tax compliance
AngloGold Ashanti recognises the need to earn and maintain its social licence to operate in partnership with government and community stakeholders, thus contributing towards a sustainable future in the countries where the Company operates.
Aligned with the values, business strategy and sustainability strategy, the Group acknowledges its obligations as a responsible corporate citizen and that operations contribute material tax revenues, in terms of both taxes borne and taxes collected, to the economies of the countries in which business is conducted.
As a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, a global standard to promote open and accountable management of natural resources, AngloGold Ashanti is committed to reporting the amounts paid to governments in respect of operations in those countries that have implemented the standard. As a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals, we participate actively in a Tax Working Group which engages on relevant tax matters and policy developments.
The Group’s Tax Strategy is reviewed annually and published on this website.
