ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI PUBLISHES REPORT TO SOCIETY FOR 2004
AngloGold Ashanti published its Report to Society for 2004 today.
In a letter to stakeholders, CEO Bobby Godsell said that while the primary purpose of any business
had to be to provide competitive returns to shareholders, AngloGold Ashanti’s business principles
went beyond this.
They encompassed commitments to fair economic reward and opportunity for employees, to their
right to a healthy and safe working environment, to the communities living near our operations, and
to the physical environment in and surrounding the company’s operations.
“We accept, and embrace, these commitments because we believe that, in order to operate, we
need to do more than merely meet the minimum regulatory standards set by the government
administrators in the countries and regions in which we operate. We also believe we need a moral
licence to mine; a licence that has to be acquired, too, from our employees, from the communities
in which we operate, and from other stakeholders. In its simplest terms, we take the view that
communities, and others, must be better off for our having been there“, he said.
South Africa was one country where these “parallel licensing standards” had been, to some extent,
recognised through the mechanism of the mining charter, he observed.
“The moral licence to mine is not something we seek in order to make us feel good. We do it for
good business reasons. Without it, our ability to carry out our work, and improve the return to our
shareholders would be compromised”, he said.
