As 2022 was a year of recovery, refocus and consolidation for AngloGold Ashanti, so 2023 was a transformative one. The Company\u2019s domicile shifted from South Africa to the United Kingdom, the primary listing moved to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),  reflecting the truly global nature of our operations and leadership, and further strengthening this foundation of this leading global gold company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this move had profound impacts on our corporate structure, and will change our reporting and disclosures, it will not change the fundamental values and ethos of our business, which at root remains to responsibly and respectfully conduct our mining operations and contribute to our host countries, for the good of all stakeholders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disclosure regulations, especially in respect of ESG matters, differ between regions, and so our quarterly and annual reporting may be a little different to our reporting in the past. However, from a sustainability reporting perspective, we remain fully committed to leading disclosure practices and will continue to report in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR). We subscribe to and report against the principles and requirements of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and the World Gold Council (WGC). We also support and align our reporting with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role of SES Committee in shaping ESG governance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased to chair the Social, Ethics and Sustainability (SES) Committee, and recognise the significant interest and commitment of my fellow committee members, and the Board as a whole in all matters relating to ESG. What has become very clear in recent years is that ESG is increasingly central to the effective functioning of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revised Board charter, now even more explicitly ESG-centric, underscores our commitment to governance and integrity. The SES Committee has long been instrumental in steering and overseeing our ESG initiatives and performance in the broadest sense, including core operational aspects like health, safety and security, while also overseeing diversity, equity and inclusion progress, risks related to our tailings storage facilities (TSFs) and our social investments performance across our operating jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key governance challenge for the Board is how to straddle the various jurisdictional legal and social norms by keeping our corporate purpose in focus, all while keeping a balance between shareholder value and stakeholder interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fostering active engagement by the Board on ESG matters is key for the SES Committee, which included a detailed work plan and transparent engagement with members of the senior management team on a diverse range of topics that affect all aspects of sustainability, governance and the Company\u2019s legal and social licence to operate (SLO). The close interplay with the Audit and Risk Committee, which oversees assurance \u2013 including some ESG topics \u2013 is an invaluable aspect of the overall governance matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double materiality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This report has been structured to focus on the most significant ESG matters affecting the business today, which were identified through a \u2018double materiality\u2019 process. The Company sought to identify those issues that have or may have an impact on the cash flows and financial viability of the business in the short, medium and long term, as well as the impacts that we as a company have on our environment and society in the short, medium and long term. As would be expected, these issues are often inter-dependent and cannot always be precisely categorised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our long-standing track record in linking corporate citizenship to maintaining our social licence to operate is the guiding principle for the SES Committee in executing its fiduciary responsibility in this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artisanal mining a continued focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the SES committee deliberated extensively on illegal and small-scale mining activities and their impact on our operations and the communities that surround them. As ever, this remains a delicate and complex issue for gold mining companies across most developing countries, requiring initiatives not only to secure our own assets and people from illegal activities which we view as criminality, but also to support the formalisation of legitimate artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), often a centuries old economic pursuit, to improve the health and safety of those engaged in it and to mitigate its often-devastating impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowhere is this difficult balancing act more evident than in West Africa, where the precipitous increase in the cost of living, alongside endemic unemployment and macroeconomic strain, make artisanal gold mining an attractive way for a growing number of people to keep food on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our approach has been to help create or support multi-stakeholder initiatives to formalise ASM, which aims not only to improve safety, working conditions and environmental outcomes, but also to end exploitation of the most vulnerable members of the ASM value chain. We are working simultaneously to create alternative livelihoods in order to divert as many people as possible into less hazardous endeavours, like small business and agricultural projects, all the while we are working to ensure our people, sites and assets are properly secured, in line with our VPSHR commitments, to create a safe environment for the development of our ore bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work in this area is underpinned by our commitment to fostering stability and positive socio-economic contributions in the regions where we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change, decarbonisation and the pathway to net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The world continues to feel the impacts of climate change, both in terms of physical impacts as well as in the tremendous social and regulatory pressure to decarbonise value chains, and transition to net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. It is known that Africa, where we currently have most of our mining operations, stands to bear a disproportionate level of impact from changing weather, not only because of climatic factors but because the continent is in many cases ill-equipped to deal with them. This matters to us, climate is just as much, if not more, about people than the environment.  Physical risks, therefore, will continue to require our focused attention in our climate change strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our investment in a range of projects to reduce GHG emissions from our operations is a strategic priority enshrined in our target announced in 2022 to achieve a 30% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2021 baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our milestone renewable energy project at Tropicana, in a partnership with Pacific Energy, involves the construction and operation of a 62MW wind and solar generation facility, combined with battery storage system. This project, well underway at the end of 2023, will supplement natural gas power generation, reducing natural gas consumption by half. GHG emissions from Tropicana are expected to drop by an average of 65,000t per annum over the 10-year life of the agreement with Pacific Energy. At Geita, the switch is underway from predominantly diesel-generated power to the national grid which has a higher proportion of hydro-electric power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These projects will assist us in meeting our 2030, medium- term emission reduction commitments and are important milestones on our journey to net zero Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognise that accounting for and reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions \u2013 those emissions that occur upstream and downstream of our operations \u2013 are critically important, notwithstanding the fact that gold\u2019s emissions from the value chain are significantly fewer than for many other commodities. As an ICMM member, we have committed to ongoing disclosure of these emissions and setting reduction targets. We are working closely with both our suppliers and the ICMM on Scope 3 GHG emissions accounting and reporting and currently expect to set Scope 3 reduction targets by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant step forward in tailings management and disclosure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The year also heralded a milestone in the vitally important area of tailings management and disclosure. We are proud of our long tailings management track record and, in August 2023, published our commitment to full implementation of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) at all our TSFs by August 2025. The GISTM is an important step for the industry in improving governance, transparency and ultimately, safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclosure is available here:
https:\/www.anglogoldashanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/aga-gistm-conformance-statement-aug2023.pdf<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The progress achieved to date has been significant, especially given the scale of auditing, governance and administrative processes required by the standard, and the continuing global skills shortages in this area. We currently expect to achieve full conformance at all of our TSFs by August 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new era of nature and biodiversity reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an industry, our activities and processes both depend on and impact nature. We are on a journey to continually improve the understanding of environmental impacts and the initiatives needed to mitigate them, while seeking the best ways to leverage our own knowledge, resources and connections within and outside our industry, to create nature positive outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) ushers in a new regime of nature-related disclosures, understanding and mitigating biodiversity impacts, and planning for rehabilitation and closure have long been part of how we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standards replicate many aspects of the widely adopted Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures and we are committed to the process of integrating nature related considerations into our decision-making processes as we develop a roadmap to becoming nature net positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with other ICMM members we have committed \u2013 where practical \u2013 to ensuring no net loss in biodiversity as a result of our operations versus a 2020 baseline. This collective commitment, from some of the industry\u2019s largest companies, will help promote the health, diversity and resilience of species, ecosystems and natural processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusion, diversity and equity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The persistent challenge of discrimination and sexual harassment within the mining industry underscores the importance of our inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) efforts. At AngloGold Ashanti, our zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, and our progress in gender parity initiatives are testament to our commitment. However, we acknowledge the evolving nature of these challenges, recognising the need for continual vigilance and improvement \u2013 our work in this regard is an ongoing journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A restructured organisation and ongoing commitments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we navigate the change that inevitably comes with a new organisational structure and corporate domicile, ESG considerations remain intrinsic to our operations. The story of AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s progress in 2023 is one of resilience, adaptation, and an unwavering commitment to our values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we grapple with new and ongoing challenges, our commitment to sustainability, transparency, and responsible governance remains steadfast. We express our gratitude to our shareholders, partners, and stakeholders for their continued support and engagement on this transformative journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
